IMPATIENCE
1 Samuel 13:4-14
Devotional:- "Now it happened,
as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and
Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him". (V. 10) NKJV
Sometimes in the course of trying to
rush to attain a goal, we complicate situations especially when this rush is
caused by impatience. Impatience is not to allow the right process of things to
be in place. It is the trick of the enemy to bring affliction over our heart by
making us to be restless and making us feel if it does not happen now it will
never happen. This is not often true but lies. This is not a life style of a
true believer.
It is true in the scripture we read
today that King Saul had waited for seven days but he should have waited to the
end of the day before concluding that Samuel the prophet will not come again.
It was just a pressure by the weakness of his heart and as soon as he finished sacrificing
Samuel came. His day of honour was turn to the beginning of the shame. Just a little
patience more would have secured his throne.
Friend, understand that what is yours
by divine ordination will not miss you. Don’t give in to pressure. This
pressure in most cases is because we lack the understanding of the purposes of
God. The devil always want to deceive us to think material things are our
purpose on earth. That push us to become desperate when it look escaping.
Please know that you are not created for material things but they are created
for you. You need not to be afraid of failure. Remember God is on your side
(Romans 8:31). You can’t secure the future by allowing tension. Watch out!
Peace!
Prayer: Lord, teach me to manage
pressure of life
“Situation
that comes with pressure is leading to tension, watch out!”
