today on Summit Life with JD Greer.

I will wait upon the Lord.

I will do things his way because he's the one that made these promises.

He's the shepherd to whom I have committed my soul.

I will wait upon the Lord. In fact everybody let's say that for say together will you say it with me I will

wait upon the Lord Welcome back to Summit Life with J.D. Greer, pastor of the Summit Church in Raleigh, Durham, North Carolina.

I'm your host Molly Bitevich.

I've got a question for you.

What do you do when the path you are on in life takes a turn for the worse?

In today's message from 1st Samuel 24,

Pastor J.D. follows David into an unexpected place, the wilderness. At this point in his

life, David has been chosen to be king, but isn't on the throne yet and circumstances

actually sent him running for his life. David's temptation in this season

certainly echoes our own. When our plans seem to be going south, we can either take matters into our own hands or we can

follow David's example doing the hardest thing in the Bible.

Trust God and actively wait on his timing.

Does this sound familiar?

If so, grab your Bible and let's join Pastor J.D. now.
