FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>It is always a foolish act to disobey the command of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 37<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being foolish will not announce to oneself that it is with foolishness.
Proverbs 9:6 <\/em><\/strong>warns, “Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding.”<\/em><\/strong>
Foolishness is not communication alone, but a foolish act might not known when being foolish.
To be disobedient, not waiting on God, is a foolish act with painful consequences.
King Saul disobeyed by not waiting according to the word of God.
Samuel instructed King Saul to wait for lawful sacrifice before going to war against the Philistines, but he could not wait.
As the Philistines gathered together to fight the Israelites, King Saul could not wait for seven days, as instructed by Samuel.
1 Samuel 13:9\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>records, \u201cSo Saul said, \u201cBring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.\u201d And he offered the burnt offering.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
King Saul tragically disobeyed the Law of Moses (Leviticus 1)<\/em><\/strong> as instructed by Samuel.
Are you experiencing challenges not to wait on God?
Get to know the truth, waiting in obedience to instruction rooted in the word of God to culminate expectations.
Samuel arrived at the location where Saul disobeyed by asking Saul,\u00a0\u201cWhat have you done?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Saul answered, \u201cWhen I saw that the people were scattered from me and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, then I said, \u2018The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.\u2019 Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.\u201d (1 Samuel 13:11-12)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
To obey the word of God, ignore the compel of distraction.
Waiting for God is giving attention to a jealous God.\u00a0
Psalmist admonishes,\u00a0\u201cIndeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed\u2026\u201d (Psalm 25:3)<\/em><\/strong>
A believer must understand waiting on God to endure a period of waiting without a doubt.
Waiting on God can be a delay but never a waste of time.\u00a0
In a time of waiting, among what to exercise as a believer must engage are:
Be of good courage; rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him; do not fret; keep His way; let your soul wait silently.<\/em>
The above truth about waiting is identifiable in the scriptural verses listed below:
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14)<\/em><\/strong>
Psalm 37:7 says, \u201cRest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Psalm 37:9, \u201cFor evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Hosea 12:6, \u201c\u2026 wait on your God continually.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
All situations waiting on God shall experience the glory of God.
God answers when waiting on Him patiently by abiding in His word obediently.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask to be enabled with the strength to wait on God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
