Please Wait

You have little choice because you called them. Two words on the recorder are driving you insane. The voice prompting system is telling you to get in line and wait your turn when it gently says to you, "Please wait". Wait? Not me! I was handsome, tall, wealthy, and chosen. I was God-fearing, God-seeking, and a praying man. But I was insecure, impatient, judgmental, and irrational. I was angry, hateful, heartless, jealous, rash, and also raging. When God chose not to answer me within my own time-frame, I chose not to wait, but turned to other means and did it my way. My selfishness led both me and my family to shame and destruction. What God wanted for me never came to be, because I chose 'me first'. 05202018PS King Saul, Bible, 1 Samuel 10: 1; 1010 BC
