Trusting God's Timing - Israels Struggle with Faith | 1 Samuel 8-10 | Shine Thomas

Episode Summary

In our daily lives, we always encounter challenges that prompt us to find solutions. Man wanted to move and he invented the wheel. Today, we are living in the age of AI, Google, ChatGPT, software etc; all these are invented to solve man’s problem. These are all good and we use it when we need it. Do you know that there are other problems in human life for which you need God to solve it? The mistake most of us do is that for problems that only God can solve, we go the natural way: We see a problem, we strategize a fix, and we tell God how to solve it. This is what we call getting ahead of God. Getting ahead of God often creates problems in our lives. For example: Abraham and Sarah got ahead of God. They saw the problem, they strategized a fix, and they got ahead of God. It creates more problems. Not waiting for God is a temptation for us, it was obviously a temptation for Israel too. Today, we are going to see the benefits of waiting on God’s timing versus the perils of impatience and our timing.
