Does everyone remember when David was anointed king of Israel, all while Saul maintained control of the kingship for years until he eventually died in battle? David had been anointed, or "called" to that role, yet he was delayed until God changed the circumstances.... During the entire duration, David honored Saul, the very man that was stopping him from claiming the kingship and fulfilling his "calling"....
What say ye? Does this example apply to this question?
