## Resource

Have you ever said, “After everything I’ve endured… I deserve this”? There are moments in life when opportunity, when timing, when a situation seems so perfect, it must be God. When grabbing feels like faith, even if it requires compromise. Have you ever been convinced, because a door opened, it must be God’s will? In those moments, what reveals your heart isn’t what you want. It’s what you’re willing to do to get it. What do you do when the thing that has been chasing you suddenly looks like an opportunity? When providence feels obvious? When the shortcut feels justified? In 1 Sam 24, David has what looks like a God-given opportunity to end his suffering. Instead, he discovers something far more important than escape. He discovers whether he trusts God’s promise more than his own wisdom, hands, and timing.
