1 Chronicles 9-11
What God said to me – Saul was killed in a battle against the Philistines because of his sin against Me and I turned the kingdom over to David who I chose to be king. David became greater and greater because I was with him. I know you wonder why I allowed Saul, sinful as he was, to remain king for so long when I had chosen David, a man after My own heart, to suffer and struggle for years. Never forget that My timing is always perfect. During those times I built character and faith in David and prepared him to lead. During that time, I extended mercy to those who would repent and used those who wouldn’t repent to accomplish My purpose. It is the same today. Do not despair when you see evil prospering and sin prevailing. “I AM” at work. Spend time with Me and let Me prepare you and grow you. Watch Me accomplish My purpose.
