1 Samuel 13:8-9 Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. So Saul said, "Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me." And he offered the burnt offering. King David learned from king Saul’s mistakes. 1 Samuel 13:11-12 And Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "When 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, 'The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.' Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering." Therefore King David penned: Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Here in today’s verse it says that king Saul did wait, but he waited until he figured it was time to stop waiting, not until the Lord told him to stop waiting, and the result was that king Saul lost it all. 1 Samuel 13:13-14 And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you." We also know that Abraham did not wait for the son of promise either, and the result we see today as the descendants of Ishmael are out to destroy Israel to this very day. But we also learned that king David did wait on the Lord and that he wrote about waiting on the Lord in the Psalms, as well as reading of David waiting on the Lord and not killing Saul even when he had the opportunity to twice, and the results that it is said about king David. Acts 13:22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.' So, what have you been anxious for lately that you are getting tired of waiting for the Lord and you are about ready to take matters into your own hands? Let’s learn like King David did, that King Saul lost it all because he did not wait, just “one more day” for the Lord. And King David gained it all, because he did wait for several years until the Lord said that it was time to stop waiting and to be the king of Israel. Therefore he could write: Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. I don’t know who needs to hear this today? But the Lord does, therefore: Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
