Steadfast Waiting

At the end of every podcast, we like to ask our guests to share what God has been teaching them in this season of life. Join New York Times bestselling author, Michael Hyatt, as we talk leadership, planning, and why entrepreneurs are the hope for the future.

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

I've been reading through First Samuel, and it's probably my favorite book in the Bible. Certainly one of my favorites, because it's a story of David and particularly David in the early days. 

And the thing that struck me over and over again is how he doesn't move without hearing from God. You know, things that are seemingly obvious that God would want him to do. But he waits on the Lord and he is steadfastly obedient. And that's really challenged me because I think, you know, one of the things that happen to you as an entrepreneur, as a leader, you become more successful. You know, things become intuitively obvious what you should do. And it's just been a challenge to me to just say, wait a second. What if it's not? What if God wants me to do something different? That's not the obvious thing. In the midst of this. So it's just been, you know, something I've been journaling about as I'm reading through First Samuel, and something that's been a great challenge, too, because I really want to be a man like David who is after God's own heart. And at the end of the day, that's what I wanna be known for as a man that saw God and obeyed him.
