We continue the Embrace the Delay series with King Saul and his Destiny, Delay, and Destruction. Saul was chosen by GOD to be the first king of Israel. He was handsome, tall, and born to be king, but he allowed pride in his delay keep him from seeing the fullness of GOD’s  blessing in his life. In this podcast, we encourage our listeners to embrace who GOD has made them to be, be patient in their delays, and repent when we miss the mark. 

As we continue the Embrace the Delay series, we take a journey into the life of King David. David was anointed King over Israel at the age of 15, but there was only 1 problem, Israel already had a King and his name was Saul. Saul hated David and wanted him dead. For 15 years, David ran from Saul's attacks and finally toward the end of his delay gave up. What we learn from David is that even in the most trying, frustrating, and heart wrenching delays, giving up is a never a good choice. 

Daniel was caught in a moment of delay from the time he started praying until he received his answer. What Daniel did while he was delayed, built not only his faith, but also gives us a great example of how to stand tall in the midst of delayed prayers. 

Naaman was a great warrior, but he struggled with a secret. He was a leper.  In the middle of his search for healing came a delay that was not caused by GOD, but by Naaman. In our own life we can make the decision to fully commit to the what and how of GOD’s plan or we can let our own expectations lead us away from what GOD has already planned. In this podcast, Drew Blackston continues the series Embrace the Delay. 

Many times we believe the delays in our life only happen for us, but what if that isn't the case. What if the delays in your life are for those around you? What if your delay is actually GOD using you for a perception change? In John 11, we see a delay from Jesus that not only brought Him glory, but changed the people around Him forever. 

In Exodus 32, the children of Israel made a decision to move out of God's will because of their own frustration in the midst of a delay. This story is a great example of how GOD divinely orchestrates delays in our life and how we can fully embrace the delay in any season of life. 

Jesus used 6 stone pots to turn water into wine for His first miracle. Just like those stone pots, GOD wants to use us today and fill our emptiness with His living water.
