And I want to make this as concrete and practical as it can be. So we’re going to look at what we should be doing while we wait on God for direction. They want it disconnected from the need to have a submitted character or a surrendered heart.ĭirection from God is a whole different matter.Īnd it’s so important that we get this one as right as we can.

They want to pursue pleasure and avoid pain, and they want a road map for how to do that.Īnd they want it disconnected from moral direction. What they really want is inside information for the future to accomplish their own ends. Now, the truth about all of this is - people who look to psychics and horoscopes and do these sorts of things - they don’t particularly want direction. Listen, if they were really psychic, they would have called you.
They’ll look deeply into your eyes or into their crystal ball or whatever else they look at, and they’ll say they can give you counsel on your career, on your relationships, or they can help you find the purpose of life. It’s an amazing thing - there are thousands of psychics in San Francisco who want to be your psychic friend, who will give you direction for your future. Now, it’s only 2,000 years ago that people would do something that naive and superstitious, right? In other words, people in that day wanted so desperately to find direction - to know about the future - that they would pay money to get some poor, spiritually misguided soul to predict their future. And she made a great deal of money for her owners by fortune telling. There’s a story in the bible in the book of Acts about a young slave girl who had a spirit in her so she could predict the future. We do that sort of thing don’t we? Because we’re curious about the future.Īnd the reality is, our concerns about the future can lead us toward God or they can lead us away from God. Or I pick pedals from a flower to find out if she loves me. Or, you’re wondering, “Does she love me or not?” And so you say, “If the light turns green by the time I get there she loves me,” or “If this particular song comes on the radio she loves me.” So you say to yourself, “all right, if the light turns green by the time I get there…” Say, you just took a test or interviewed for a job. You’re approaching a stoplight at an intersection, and you’re concerned about something in the future. Sometimes people play little games about the future: Wouldn’t you like to be able to see just a few miles down the road into your future? People have tremendous anxieties about the future.
We all have times in life when we’re waiting on direction from God.ĭirection is something the human race is desperately hungry for. How many of you would say you need direction? How is it possible for fallen, sinful human beings to wait patiently when we need direction from God? What I want to focus on today is: waiting on direction from God.
If you weren’t here last week, Justin taught on, “How we wait.” It was a great message if you want to go back and listen to the podcast. This is week three of our Wait For It series.
