Anointed To Wait

A great moment in the Christian’s life occurs when he or she understands what God has gifted and called them to do in the Kingdom. Everyone desires to know their purpose, and life takes on new dimension when God clearly communicates His desire for the direction of our lives. What God assigns to the believer He also anoints for the believer. He infuses the right gifting, the right spiritual resources, the right location, and the right recipients of what He will pour through us. Oh, yes, there is also this: He assigns the right timing. And that is where most of us will be tested. Most Christians receive their call and anointing from God before they receive their full release to what God has determined for them. David’s example carries rich lessons for those who know their Kingdom purpose, but who have not yet found themselves able to fulfill it. These lessons are crucial for all of us. If we cannot pass the present waiting test, we will likely not pass all the future tests which accompany our assignments. What do we do when we are in the challenging season of being anointed but waiting? King David helps us to find the answers.
