† The Last Minute † He waited seven days, the time appointed by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him. So Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offerings.” And he offered the burnt offering. As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. 1 Samuel 13:8–10 ESV Samuel had told Saul to meet him at Gilgal and that he would make an offering and tell Saul what he must do in the coming battle. Saul waited the seven days but when his army started to scatter he panicked and made the offering himself. Of course, as soon as Saul finished his offering Samuel showed up. When the deadline starts approaching we often start sweating, panicking, what are we going to do? Where is God? They say God is never late but He also is not early. He arrives right on time. It is us that starts to waver right before God shows up. Do not give up yet. God’s help and provision for you is closer than ever. Often we find that when we reach the end of our rope God is there to catch us. To us, it seems like the very last minute.
