Genesis HIStory - Genesis 21:1-21

In this inspirational survey of Genesis 21, we delve into the long-awaited fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and Sarah. The birth of Isaac, after decades of waiting, reminds us that God is indeed a Promise-Maker and Promise-Keeper, even when His timing doesn't align with our expectations. This story challenges us to distinguish between chronos (chronological time) and kairos (God's critical time) in our own lives. How often do we grow impatient, focusing on how long we've been waiting, rather than trusting in God's perfect timing? The text invites us to marvel at God's wonders and to maintain a sense of awe in our faith journey. As we witness the joy of Sarah and Abraham, we're encouraged to reflect on the moments in our lives when God has finally delivered on His promises, often in ways we never expected.
