EXPOSITION:
The waiting period is a crucial period in life where one cannot predict when God’s promises will be fulfilled. In the text, God promised Abram a son from his own body (Genesis 15:4), but despite this assurance, Abram still yielded to his wife’s voice. This decision has long-term consequences that could affect generations to come. Despite this, God’s mercy continued to reassure Abraham, and Sarah gave birth to a son (Isaac: “Laughter”) at the exact time God had set (Genesis 21:2).

Being late in keeping promises may happen when agreed meeting times are not respected by parties involved. Saul, for instance, was instructed to wait for 7 days but offered sacrifices before the end of the appointed time (1 Samuel 10:8,13:9-11). To prevent questioning God’s timing, recall His promises and be active during the waiting period (Psalm 27:14). To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). This interval is an opportunity for action, as idleness can lead to trouble. Use this waiting time wisely, trusting in God’s perfect timing.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, help me to maximize my waiting period.
2. Jesus, grant me the strength to wait for, and on You.
3. Pray for CAC Good Women Association, the leader and members as directed by the Spirit of God.
