Waiting for God’s Time

Waiting for God’s Time The Gospel recounts Jesus ascending the mountain to call and appoint the Twelve Apostles, . . . . . . choosing them to be with him, to preach, and to exercise spiritual authority. This act highlights divine initiative: God chooses, calls, and sends according to His will, not human ambition. The Homily then turns to the Old Testament encounter between David and Saul. Saul, consumed by jealousy, seeks to kill David in order to preserve his power, while David . . . though unjustly persecuted for many years . . . refuses to take revenge when Saul’s life is placed in his hands. David recognizes Saul as “the Lord’s anointed” and entrusts justice and fulfillment of God’s promise entirely to God’s timing. True Faith Resists the Urge to Hasten God’s Promises The central lesson contrasts jealousy and revenge with patience, discernment, and reverence for life. Jealousy corrupts the heart and leads toward death, while waiting on God preserves life and aligns human action with divine purpose. David teaches that God’s plans do not require human violence or manipulation to be fulfilled. True faith resists the urge to hasten God’s promises and instead allows God alone to sign His work, especially when life itself is at stake. Listen to this Meditation Media.
