GOD HAS A PLAN AND HAS TIMING. AND TO IGNORE IT IS DISASTROUS

• Psalm 27: 11-14 Lord, show me your way; lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Do not abandon me to the will of my foes; malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me. But I believe I shall enjoy the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the Lord.

SAMPLE OF GOD’S PLAN AND TIMING. ON THE LIFE OF DAVID WHO BECAME

KING• David was anointed to be a king. At 16 years

old he was just caring for the sheep's. Then he killed Goliath and became famous and even served King Saul. But King Saul look at him as a threat and later envied him and wanted him eliminated. So he run and run and hide for 14 years. But David later became King

SOME OF THE WORDS• Psalm 25: 1-3 Of David. I wait for you, O Lord; I lift up my soul to my God.

In you I trust, do not let me be disgraced, do not let my enemies gloat over me. No one is disgraced who waits for you but only those who lightly break faith.

• Psalm 37: 1 Of David. Do not be provoked by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.

• Psalm 37: 7-9 Be still before the Lord; wait for God. Do not be provoked by the prosperous, nor malicious schemers. Give up your anger, abandon your wrath; do not be provoked it brings only harm. Those who do evil will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord will possess the land.

• Psalm 37: 34 Wait eagerly for the Lord, and keep to the way; God will raise you to possess the land; you will gloat when the wicked are cut off.
