Day 3: Impatience and Presumption

Saul often ran ahead of God, making decisions based on his own understanding rather than waiting for divine guidance. His impatience led to his downfall, as he failed to trust in God's timing and plan. We are reminded to wait on the Lord and trust His timing, as rushing ahead can lead to spiritual and practical failures. Abiding in Christ means submitting to His will and timing, even when it requires patience and trust.

Isaiah 40:31 (ESV): "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Reflection: Is there an area in your life where you are struggling to wait on God's timing? How can you practice patience and trust in His plan today?
