Yes but why the wait?

What do you do when you obey perfectly and still end up in a pit or a cave? Joseph chose purity and got thrown into an Egyptian prison. David was anointed king and immediately had to run for his life from Saul. Delay is one of the hardest tests of obedience because it makes you question if your faithfulness actually matters. But remember this: God uses the delay not to punish you, but to prepare you. The length of the waiting room usually matches the weight of the throne you are about to sit on.
