Ep 12: Are You 'Waiting' or Are You 'Deferring'? (Waiting In The Wilderness Pt 1)

from Understanding Calling · host Alistair Forman

Please get in touch, what’s God doing in your life? What topics would you like me to look at? We all want to know what God is doing in us and around us as we wait for what He has for us next...HoweverHow do we know if we are actually waiting like we think we are? Could it be possible that we might be in danger of deferring, stuck in a holding pattern, kicking the can of what God has put in our hearts down the road?This new mini series "Waiting in the Wilderness" is about discerning what God is doing within us as we wait...but we have to know that we are waiting under godly obedience first and not simple existing, hoping that something in our callings will spontaneously happen out of nowhere.What does God's word say about this and what questions do we need to ask?//--> You can be part of Understanding Calling's Patreon for more content for growing in your calling and support for pastors including:Monthly community calls, the Understand Calling Extra Podcast, Courses, Show Notes and Devotionals for each episode, the audio book of Alistair's book 'The Road to the Father's House, video sessions and the first few chapters of Alistair's new book 'The Heart of Calling: What Matters Most to God'.Enjoy it all for FREE as well as becoming  a monthly partner of the show.

Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
