ANTICIPATION

Living Between Promise and Fulfillment

De: Geoffrey Schmitt

What do you do when God has spoken…

but nothing seems to have happened yet?

Anticipation: Living Between Promise and Fulfillment explores the space where much of the Christian life is actually lived—the space between what God has said and what God has not yet completed.

Through Scripture, personal reflection, and practical application, this study traces anticipation across the whole story of the Bible:

• Abraham trusting a promise he could not see
• Joseph holding onto a dream in the darkness
• Israel crying out across generations
• The prophets speaking what was not yet visible
• Simeon and Anna recognizing God in quiet moments
• The disciples learning through confusion
• The early Church waiting for power
• Daily life shaped by the simple prayer: “Here I am”
• The Kingdom already present—and still unfolding
• Creation groaning toward glory
• The promise of Christ’s return
• The final renewal of all things

Blending pastoral insight with lived experience—from decades of ministry, Kairos prison work, personal loss, and a life of writing—Geoffrey invites readers to discover that anticipation is not passive waiting.

It is active, faith-filled expectancy.

This study will help you:

• Trust God’s promises even when fulfillment is delayed
• Recognize God’s presence in ordinary moments
• Navigate seasons of confusion, suffering, and waiting
• Live with hope in the tension of “already and not yet”
• Anchor your life in the certainty of God’s ultimate renewal

At its heart, this is a book about learning how to live forward—

not with anxiety,

not with control,

but with trust.

Because anticipation is not just something we feel.

It is who we become.

Anticipation is faith with its eyes open,

its heart awake,

and its posture leaning forward.
