I've been amazed recently at several old testament stories. How Abraham was promised to be the father of many nations yet didn't have a child till he was much older. How Joseph had dreams about his brothers bowing down to him yet he spent many years as a slave and in jail. David promised king of Israel spent many years as a hunted rebel.
It's as if God in control finds putting people in important places is the easy part. It's the transforming people that takes time.
I find a common them amoug all those people is that they tried their best to serve God wherever they were (though they all had short commings).
