It’s Another Podcast!
Sometimes, good intentioned statements may sound like a person is doing the right thing, but are they subtly blaming God?
In this short podcast (5:02), I talk about the topic of waiting on God. It’s a touchy subject, but I do believe that all of life has a balance. Listen and see what you think. Do you think that we sometimes, because of our lack of faith, subtly blame God?
Enjoy the podcast.

Sir,
I have just listened to this podcast and would like to thank you for your refreshing and clear perspective on what can be a very difficult topic.
I believe that often the frustration that turns into the sublte blaming of God has to do with time. It has been my experience that every prayer or request made to God carries with it an expiration date.
Occasionally these expiration dates are explicit; for example, “God, my daughter is getting married on June 20th and I don’t know how I am going to pay for the wedding, please help me.”
Most often however the expiration date is implicit and can be based on innumerable factors; for example “God, I would really like more money so I can go mountain climbing in Tibet.” Although not explicitly stated the person making the request is say sooner rather than later, in as much as they probably wouldn’t want to do that fifty years from that point when they are in their eighties.
Of course sometimes the implied expiration date is now, especially for people that are alone and wanting to be married (or in a relationship with another person). I’ve been running into this more and more of late. I have seen this drag on for years and years in some people and have watched people with great confidence in God do a complete about face after years of being alone. For these people I have found it hard to encourage them to give God even another five minutes to help them.
Again thank you for your work, now that I’ve found this site I will be checking it often.
Thanks, Keith. Great perspective on the expiration date. The best that we can do is to pray – ask Him – and then move forward the best that we know how, looking for and expecting an answer.
Thanks for checking out this site – God bless you!
