Too Scared to Ask - Real Questions & Real AnswerSample

430 Years Later…

Reflect

I love when stories come full circle. It is one of the simplest joys of my life. So, I love that I can read in Genesis that God told Abraham that his descendants would be strangers in a land not their own for 400 years, and then flip over to Exodus and see that it is recorded that the Israelites lived in Egypt 430 years to the day. God never forgets and never changes. Abraham is long gone by the time the Israelites left Egypt, but God is still faithful to his covenant.

So we have been learning a ton and I want you to take a second and reflect on your own story and your own walk with God. It is crazy to think that the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, and Moses is the same God who knows your name and your story. Write down a time you have seen God be faithful in your life. How has He brought you full circle?
