Faithful in the Waiting
Most of us assume that if God has called us to something, the path will be clear. The doors will open. Things will fall into place. And when they don’t — when the waiting stretches into years, when obstacles pile up, when the trial hits right when things were finally starting to move — we wonder if we heard wrong.
Samuel waited 20 years. Twenty years between the audible voice of God calling him as a prophet and the moment Israel was finally ready to listen. And when the moment came, he was ready.
In week three of the Samuel series, Charlie walks through 1 Samuel 7 and makes the case that the waiting and the trial aren’t detours from the path. They’re part of it. God shapes you in the uncertainty. And when He finally shows up, you’ll have something worth commemorating — an Ebenezer of your own.
