Just more drivel from Osteen. No, God isn't developing me to become a king. David was a king. I'll never be. We can't all be kings and queens. We also can't all become wolves in sheep's clothing like Osteen and his wife who have a $10 million mansion and private jets.

God will work in our lives to make us more like his son. That involves trials.
The Bible is clear about that.

(James 1:2-4 NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, {3} because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. {4} Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
