Part 4: Waiting Without Becoming Bitter Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 29, 2026

Delay does not damage destiny, but bitterness does. You can survive years of waiting and still step into your calling with a poisoned soul. David’s secret weapon was his ability to lament honestly without abandoning trust.

The Enemy You Can't See You know what's interesting about David's story? He survives the cave. He passes the test of honor. He refuses to kill Saul when he has the chance. Twice. He does everything right externally. But there's another enemy. An enemy that doesn't announce ...read more
