You Are Doing God's Job Instead of Yours (I See This Every Week) Ep 239
from Chasing Happiness with Ryan DeMent · host Ryan DeMent
Stop forcing the outcome. Obedience is your job; the outcome is God's, and mixing them up is why you are exhausted.After years of doing loans for Christians, I can tell you why so many faithful people are burned out. They are doing two jobs at once, their own and God's. Your job is obedience. Small, daily, specific. Show up, do the work, tithe, steward the little. God's job is the outcome. The growth, the timing, which door opens and which one closes. When you try to do God's job for Him, you do not just exhaust yourself. You get in His way.I am recording this one from inside my own storm. For 18 months I have been trying to force outcomes God never asked me to control while completely missing the daily obedience He was actually asking of me. This week it finally started to shift.What we cover:What your job actually is. Small daily obedience, not big flashy obedience. The next right thing today, never "make the outcome happen."What God's job actually is. Growth, timing, provision, open and closed doors. Backed by 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 and Proverbs 16:9.My testimony. The three-stage evolution my prayers went through over 18 months, from bargaining with God to finally asking Him to change me instead of my circumstances.What the lender's seat sees every week. The borrower who calls three times a day trying to force a closing timeline versus the one who does the paperwork and lets the process work. Same tools, wildly different peace levels.Scriptures referenced:Micah 6:8, 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, Proverbs 16:9You are not exhausted because your situation is too hard. You are exhausted because you are trying to do two jobs at once. Do the small faithful thing in front of you today and let God do the growth.If this episode hit you, the last episode covers why the problem in front of you was never the punishment. It was the setup for the miracle. Subscribe so you do not miss the next one.
