Now and Not Yet Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Discovering Six Ways God Is More Faithful Than You Know

If you’ve ever waited on the Lord for something—direction, answers, resolution, strength—you know how challenging it can be. Even when we fully believe that God sees and hears our requests, if we’re honest, we sometimes view waiting as wasted time. But, what if it’s not? What if waiting is the means God uses to make us more like Christ? What if there are some pieces of God’s character that we’ll only learn while we wait?

If that’s true… how do we lean in? What lessons do these seasons hold? How do we keep hoping and believing what we know to be true?

In this six-week study, you’ll explore five biblical narratives that put God’s faithfulness to waiting people on display and help you direct your gaze from the answers you’re seeking to the God who meets you while you wait.


Ruth is an artist, entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker, using each of these platforms to sow the Word of God into people’s hearts. Through her online shoppe at GraceLaced.com and her social media community, Simons shares her journey of God’s grace intersecting daily life with word and art. Ruth and her husband, Troy, are grateful parents to six boys—their greatest adventure. Learn more about Ruth at her website, ruthchousimons.com.
