God Moves In His Time
April 8, 2026
In this message, we walk through 1 Samuel 31 and 2 Samuel 1 and witness the moment everything shifts, not because David forced it, but because God moved in His time. After seasons of waiting, pressure, and personal failure, David now watches as God fulfills what He had been forming all along. This passage contrasts two hearts, one that consistently resisted God and ultimately collapsed, and one that was shaped through waiting and remained aligned with Him. It reminds us that God does not need us to force the outcome, He will fulfill His will in His time.
Key Points
– If you continually resist God your life will eventually fall apart.
– When your life is out of order with God, it will eventually affect everything else.
– When your heart is not aligned with God, you will pursue what benefits you instead of what honors Him.
– In moments of loss, leaders are not just responsible for how they feel, but for how they lead others through it.

We pray this message encourages you to trust God’s timing and examine your heart. You do not have to force what God has already promised. A life surrendered to Him will be shaped over time, while a life that resists Him will eventually fall apart. Stay faithful, trust His process, and remember that the way you respond in every season reveals what is truly in your heart.
