Series 2 — Obedience, Strategy & Transition
1 Samuel 16:12–13
“…And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he… and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.”
Psalm 27:14
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11
“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time…”
Divine direction does not only tell you where you are going — it also teaches you when to arrive.
David was anointed king in private, but crowned king in God’s timing. Between prophecy and promotion is a sacred space called waiting — and those who wait well enter new glory without scars.
David’s journey teaches us one of the most difficult lessons in divine direction:
Being chosen does not mean being rushed.
After being anointed, David did not immediately ascend the throne. Instead, he returned to shepherding, served Saul faithfully, faced rejection, endured betrayal, and survived long seasons of delay.
Yet David refused to force what God had already promised.
Twice, David had the opportunity to kill Saul and claim the throne prematurely. But he declared a powerful truth:
“I will not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD’s anointed.”
David understood something many miss:
Waiting is not inactivity — it is preparation.
While David waited:
God built his humility
God refined his obedience
God strengthened his leadership heart
In 2026, many will miss their moment by rushing ahead of God. But those who wait in obedience will step into glory without regret, guilt, or casualties.
If God promised it, He will perform it — at the right time.
Father, I thank You for Your perfect timing. Deliver me from impatience, pressure, and comparison. Teach me to wait without complaining and trust without doubting. As You prepare me for what You have promised, refine my heart, strengthen my character, and align my spirit with Your will. I refuse to force doors You have not opened. I wait on You, and I trust Your timing completely. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I trust God’s timing over my emotions.
I will not force what God has promised.
I am being prepared, not delayed.
My waiting season is working for my good.
I will enter my kingship in God’s perfect time.
Ask God today:
“Lord, what are You building in me while I wait?”
Write it down.
Thank Him for the process.
Commit to patience without compromise.
Waiting well is proof of alignment.
David became king not because he was fast — but because he was faithful.
If you wait for God’s timing, your glory will be clean, complete, and lasting.
Stay faithful. Stay aligned. Stay patient.
Welcome to 2026 — Our Year of Divine Direction into New Glory.
