What do you do in the time between—the space between God’s promise and God’s fulfillment?
In this message, we dive into the life of David and explore the season between his anointing and his appointing. From 1 Samuel 16, we see how God looks beyond titles, appearances, and human effort—and instead focuses on the condition of the heart.
David was anointed king, yet waited years before wearing the crown. Saul, on the other hand, shows us a sobering truth: you can lose God’s favor and still retain your title, at least for a while (1 Samuel 16:14).
This message reminds us that:
God always comes through
The time between is not wasted time
Success is not found in our own efforts, but in the favor of the Lord
How you gain the crown is the crown you wear
Waiting is part of God’s process, not a punishment
The real question is not how fast we arrive—but what kind of heart we develop while we wait.

Reflection Question:
What is my heart condition while I’m waiting?
If you’re in a season of waiting, this message is for you. God is still working—even in the time between.
