Lessons for Living (Audio)

Imagine an oven full of baking cookies. The aroma is overwhelming, filling the room until the cookies are all you can think about. You're so anxious to have them, you pull out the tray and shove a cookie into your mouth. But, instead of a delicious treat, your mouth burns with searing hot dough. When we ignore God's leading to wait on Him, we push past His perfect will and step into a mess of our own making. We bite into an opportunity too early, missing out on the good stuff to come. As we'll see today, David has a long time to wait from the time he's appointed to the time he becomes King of Israel...time that he'll use to become a man of God.
