GOD wants us to be patient. In the Bible, Prophet Samuel told King Saul to wait. But after a while, Saul got tired of waiting and made a burnt offering to God to get an update. When Samuel arrived, he said “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE — YOU DID A FOOLISH THING, YOU DID NOT OBEY THE LORD YOUR GOD. Saul’s only response was “You were not on time”. Are we sometimes telling God that he is not on “OUR” time?
1 Samuel 13:8–14 — Samuel said he would meet Saul at Gilgal. Saul waited there seven days. But Samuel had not yet come to Gilgal, and the soldiers began to leave Saul. 9 So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings.” Then Saul offered the burnt offering. 10 As soon as Saul finished offering that sacrifice, Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet him.
11 Samuel asked, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?”
Saul answered, “I saw the soldiers leaving me. YOU WERE NOT ON TIME, and the Philistines were gathering at Micmash. 12 I thought to myself, ‘The Philistines will come here and attack me at Gilgal, and I haven’t asked the Lord to help us yet.’ So I forced myself to offer the burnt offering.”
13 Samuel said, “YOU DID A FOOLISH THING. YOU DID NOT OBEY the Lord your God. If you had done what he commanded, the Lord would have let your family rule Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom won’t continue. The Lord was looking for a man who wants to obey him.[a] He has found that man — and the Lord has chosen him to be the new leader of his people, because you didn’t obey his command.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
