Ep 14: Insecurities and Why You Don’t Know What Is In You Until You Get Squeezed...(Waiting In The Wilderness Pt 3)

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? This episode is all about the insecurities God lets us see when we get squeezed by waiting and by the pressure of circumstances on us.Very few things expose the need for control in our lives like a season of prolonged waiting does.In this episode we look at a story from the Old Testament and the New to explore how we end up often looking back with rose tinted glasses to a former life when our current life squeezes us, or how we project forward to some kind of idyllic savior like a job or healing or change of circumstances that we believe will just change everything."If God would just give me this thing...then all would be well...then I would follow Him..then I would be better than I am right now".God in His mercy resources us where we are and invites Him to trust Him as we are.I hope and pray this episode helps you...if you're in a prolonged season of waiting right now.--> 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 Enjoy for FREE as well as supporting the show as a monthly partner go to: www.patreon.com/c/understandingcalling/membership

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!
