"Then he [King Saul] waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. So Saul said, 'Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.' And he offered the burnt offering. Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came...."
I Samuel 13:8-9, 10a
Saul presents the perfect example of the impatient person. Saul was under the gun because of the Philistines. His army was deserting him. He needed to show that he was in control. So, instead of waiting for God's timing, he acted out of his own stress. How often I have gotten ahead of God's timeline when under stress. I know that His timing is always right but sometimes it is hard to wait. "Wait, I say, upon the LORD" (Psalm 27:14).
Today's Thought: God's timing is not mine, but it is always the right time.
Have a "waiting" day. Love you.
