1 Samuel 13, Psalms 97, Romans 4:11-25

What God said to me – Waiting for Me to answer your prayers – for My perfect timing is never easy.  It is even more difficult when you see things falling apart.  It is hard not to just step in and try to “fix” it yourself.  That’s exactly what Saul did when Samuel didn’t show up soon enough for him.  He stepped in and tried to “fix” it and his impatience at not waiting for Me cost him everything.  I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out and when you act impatiently because “I AM” not moving fast enough for you, then you are demonstrating your lack of faith and trust in Me and in My sovereignty.  You cannot keep Me from accomplishing My will but your impatience in acting without My direction may cost you the blessing I had planned for you as well as the lessons I was teaching you in the waiting.  This waiting period is not dead time but it is a time I use to teach you and build your faith and our relationship so embrace it.
