''... being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.''
Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
''But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.' ... Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, 'The LORD has not chosen these.' So he asked Jesse, 'Are these all the sons you have?' 'There is still the youngest,' Jesse answered. 'He is tending the sheep.' Samuel said, 'Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.' So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, 'Rise and anoint him; this is the one.' So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David.'' 1 Samuel 16:7, 10-13 (NIV)
WHY DOES GOD ALLOW DELAYS?
- Delays mature our character.
''... David acted with more wisdom than all the servants of Saul. So his name became very important.'' 1 Samuel 18:30 (NLV)
''Wait on the Lord. Be courageous, and He will strengthen your heart.?Wait on the Lord!'' Psalm 27:14 (ISV)
- Delays prepare us for our purpose.
''All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.''
1 Samuel 22:2 (NIV)
''Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.''
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
- Delays draw us closer to God.
''And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.''
