What guides the proactive Christian?

Discussion question for June 30, 2017.

There is a dynamic balance between waiting on the Lord and pressing ahead.  In 1 Samuel 13 we read about Saul offering sacrifices and losing his kingdom because he rushed ahead of God.  In 1 Samuel 14 we read about Jonathan pushing ahead of the army to take a Philistine garrison.  What does it mean for you to wait on the Lord?  When have you been tempted to act rather than be patient? How do you know when to move ahead as Jonathan did?  How can God declare Saul foolish yet give honor to Jonathan?  What guides you in similar matters?
