Lessons from Ascension

In this powerful message, we explore the journey of faith through the lens of King David's ascension to the throne at age 30. The story invites us to reflect on our own lives at that pivotal age and compare them to David's readiness for leadership. We're challenged to consider how God's timing often differs from our own expectations. The speaker's personal struggles at 30 highlight the common human experience of feeling unprepared for life's responsibilities. Yet, we're reminded that God's plan unfolds over time, much like David's 15-year journey from anointing to kingship. This message encourages us to cultivate patience and unwavering faith, even in the face of trials, as we trust in God's perfect timing for our lives.
