As we return to our study in 1 Samuel after a two week break, you might be surprised by what we find. The last time we saw David at the beginning of chapter 16, he had been sought out and anointed as the new king of Israel by the prophet Samuel. The Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him (some translations say, “gripped him”) from that day forward. We expect great things from this new king! But as we keep reading chapter 16, we find out that he is still with his father's sheep! And Saul is still on the throne! And when David is finally brought into the royal court, he doesn’t come as its king but as the king’s servant! David is on hold. Why does God call and empower people only to make them wait? Maybe you are waiting on God this week, wondering if and when his promises will come to pass. Join us, as we pick up the story of David and prepare ourselves for the kind of fruitful waiting that being faithful to God requires.
