Have you ever been stuck in the middle? Maybe prayed regarding a promise from God, a sense of calling, a hope for reconciliation, a word of future provision. The promise itself is glorious. But then comes the waiting. Days turn into months, months into years, and the space between the promise and its fulfillment becomes a burden. This "in-between" is one of the hardest places to live. It's where faith is either forged or forgotten. After the spectacular covenant of Genesis 15, Abram and Sarai enter years of silence. And what happens in that silence changes everything.
