251214 The Discipline of Delay

After David was anointed king, years passed before God’s purpose for him was fulfilled. In the time in between his anointing and his ascension to the throne, David had many opportunities to seize the crown for himself, but he never took them. Instead, he chose to wait for the kingship to be handed to him by God, even though he knew it was rightfully his. In doing so, he ensured that his throne would endure forever. In the same way, when we accept the seasons of delay that come with waiting on God, He firmly establishes his plans for our lives in ways that we could not have done ourselves.

1 Samuel 24; Proverbs 19-20
