We are living in a busy world where we do not have time to even smile at our neighbours or even speak to God :(
God desires & longs to speak with us, but we have no time for Him.
In Gal 5:22, we read that the fruit of the Spirit includes PATIENCE...
Many a times when we lose the important characteristic we tend to lose the blessings of God...
Saul was the first King chosen by God to lead the Israelites. In 1 Samuel 13, we read that the Philistines had gathered for war against Israel, as Samuel delayed in coming Saul offered the burnt offerings by himself in place of Saul.
Intention:
The intention of Saul was good. He desired to seek God before going to war.
Circumstance:
1. The Philistines had gathered for war at Mikmash
2. The men (soldiers) were scattering
3. Samuel arrived late.
Result:
The kingdom left His hand as God had chosen a man after His own heart to rule His people.
Like Saul don't look at the circumstances. You may face problems like the raging storms where you may feel that your boat is going to sink or you might face situations where the wine in the wedding ceremony in Cana is going to end and are afraid to face the situations.. Just look at the face of Jesus who does things beautifully in His own time.
God Bless :)
