Unshackled Moments ~ July 7 ~ The How And When

Samuel, the prophet of God,  anointed David to replace Saul as king over Israel.  David spent years, many of those with his own highly skilled army, knowing that he was called of God to be king. But he never attacked Saul. He refused to take the king's life even in self defense. In other words, although David knew that he would be king, he did nothing on his own or in what would make sense to people to make it happen. He waited for God to make it happen in His own way and time. That's not easy to  do, but it is by far the best way to live. Today let us wait for God to establish the things that He wants to establish in our lives and wait on the rest. He doesn't need our help to bring about what He has promised to do, only our submission and obedience.
