The art of waiting

There are times when God says “wait”
we may not know the reason why.
Perhaps it is to reveal that our faith has limits.
Perhaps it reveals a resentment of relying on God.
Perhaps someone else must learn to deal with suspense.

Saul did not wait for Samuel, or the Lord
He forgot Gideon – where God reduced the numbers to 300.
He did not need the help of mercenaries if God was with him.

Saul did not seek the heart of God but he chose to protect himself, and in doing so, he lost.

Who is your king? You or the Lord?
The threats are real - even sometimes by our own hand.
But it is God who chooses the number of defenders and the timing.

Will you trust your king?
If the Lord has promised victory, then wait for him.
