6. Discerning Divine Timing: Are You Truly Trusting God, or Stuck in Procrastination?

Let's have a heart-to-heart discussion about something that's been on my mind for a while – that phrase we often use, 'I'm waiting on God.' Is it a way of seeking guidance, or have we inadvertently made it an excuse for procrastination or, dare I say disobedience?

Throughout my own physician journey and working with numerous academic physicians, I've noticed how procrastination tends to be a common thread, holding many of us back in both our professional and personal lives. Today, we're going to dive deep into how procrastination sneaks into our lives as Christian physicians and how it might just be the missing piece that's keeping us from fulfilling our God-given purpose. We take a look at what the Bible has to say about procrastination and how to overcome it.  Join me as we explore faith, action, and the hidden obstacles that might be stalling your progress.

Could it be? That when we say we are waiting on God, or we're waiting for a confirmation, that we're actually procrastinating, and perhaps even worse, we are completely disobeying God. Having worked with academic physicians as a coach throughout the years, and just having looked very reflectively on my own life, I realize that that can be very true. Procrastination is a huge part and stumbling block for us. Why we don't move forward in our careers, but also why we really jeopardize what the Lord has for us in our personal and professional life and especially related to our purpose walking as a Christian physician. So I wanted to reflect on that today. So stay tuned for after the music after the intro and we will be right back Welcome to the Heal the Healers podcast, where we explore the intersection of faith and medicine, discover your God given potential, and experience Christ's healing in the midst of medical burnout. I'm your host Inga Hoffman, a pediatric hematologist, physician coach, and follower of Jesus. Together we will navigate the challenges of medicine, integrate faith into our personal and professional lives, experience spiritual renewal, and find restoration in Christ. Welcome to the Heal the Healers, where Christ heals one physician and one patient at a time. Well, welcome back to another episode of Heal the Healers. I'm Inge Hoffman, your host, and I'm excited to be with you today. And today I want to talk about this issue or topic of procrastination and how it oftentimes is disguised as procrastination when it actually is. perhaps even disobedience to the Lord. And that is a huge aha moment. When I realized that my procrastination is actually disobedience, it kind of shook me by the core and I thought I want to share this with you because I believe this is going to help a lot of people. So, hear me out when I say this, because it seems like, whoa, procrastination and disobedience, that's kind of a big leap that you're making there, Inga. But hear me out and let's kind of reflect on what really happens when we are procrastinating. My goal at the end of this video is that you have a better sense and be better equipped and hear God's voice and understand when you're procrastinating. and when you're actually truly waiting on the Lord. And there is a huge difference. And the only way you can figure out that difference, if you learn how to listen to God's voice through the Holy Spirit. And that's what we want to talk about today. And it is so critical, important, because when we procrastinate on issues that God wants us to do, chances are, then we are not moving forward in our assignment that God has for you, specifically, that's why he created you. He needs you to fulfill a purpose and a specific assignment. And chances are that is probably somewhere in the medical field, otherwise you wouldn't be in there, and you wouldn't have been called to do this work. So, before we dive in, I want to share some stories of my own life to help you understand. I faced these issues in a big scale with big decisions and with very small decisions. So I want to share a personal story where procrastination showed up for me and how I was really convicted of that. So one of the biggest examples that I faced was when I was leaving my job and that was a huge decision. Many of you know that I am an academic physician and have done that work for years in Peds Hem/onc. And I love the work I do. But there came a time when I felt over the years The prompting of God, this like quiet inner voice telling me this is not the end and you need to do something else. And I didn't understand it at the time. And if you know me, you know that I'm also a multi passionate person. I coach physicians and I love doing this work. took care of patients until earlier this year, and I love doing that work and will continue to do so in another capacity. And now I love bringing the word of God to the Christian physician community to encourage you to hear God's voice for your own life and be the physician that God wants you to be. But so, I was facing this decision. I kept on hearing God, I want you to do something else. He definitely caught my attention and my passion for making a bigger impact in academic medicine. That's why you hear me speak on the Academic Revolution podcast. My mission is to transform academic medicine from the inside out, one physician at a time. And I thought, well, that sounds really great. And that is definitely what I'm all for. And how does that all fit together? And it took me a while to realize all the specifics how they came together and how they are slowly coming together. But I just knew that the work I was doing wasn't what I was designed to do. Even I'm, I'm honestly quite good at it, and I love doing it. And but there came a time when I just felt I need to do something else. Not necessarily away from medicine, but in a different role to fulfill that mission that is burning in my heart to make medicine. What it was intended to be, to take it back to, to a service of the sick and the suffering and healing the sick and the broken hearted. And oftentimes, as you know, our healthcare system doesn't really represent that anymore in that same role. So, I wasn't sure what that would look like. Did that mean I should go to another institution, take a bigger leadership role, which I love doing, or did that mean for me to step away and do it differently? And I'm still working some of those things out, and at this point I'm not at a release to speak about those things Openly what is sort of next, but this is one of the things that actually came out of this that I wanted to equip physicians because I saw how much I struggled in the past and I see physicians, Christians physicians struggling all over the place with integrating their faith into medicine. So for me, it became clear I needed to look at a different way. to do what I love doing, which is changing medicine and serving patients. And at that point, that meant that probably the position that I was in leading the bone marrow transplant program at my university, which is a big job, wasn't what I needed anymore at that point. It wasn't what I felt God called me to do now, but that was hard. So I kept on praying to him, right? Because leaving your job is a big deal, right? Number one, it is our entire identity is wrapped around who we are as physicians, which is already a sin in itself, because who is our identity in? It is in Christ who he designed us to be. Our identity is not. Oh, my job. That is just something we do, and trust me, when you go to heaven nobody in eternity is going to ask you what your job was, and your job is not going to be needed anymore in eternity, right? You are not going to be needed as a physician. So that is a big piece why many people struggle and why I struggle. The other part is obviously very practical pieces, finances, health insurance, all those things, when you're sort of the... The primary paycheck and the family but I kept on praying and I kept on wrestling with this, honestly, for years. And I was procrastinating. Yeah, one day maybe I need to do something else. And then came a time where my family. was shaken to the core over the years, at least for me, when my younger son had a lot of challenges at school and very traumatic experiences with school trauma due to behavioral issues. I'm not going to share the details today, but it was really hard. It was very difficult to see my son. Struggling and really being hurt and traumatized while he was going through school when he's really a cheerful bright kid. It it put me to my knees. I had cried more tears than I dared to share. And it was really difficult and there came a point a couple of years ago when it came all to an impasse. There was no more way to go and I had to honestly take a medical leave to deescalate the situation and to take care of my son because he was in a really difficult spot. So I did and you know what? It was. Not that hard to do. Yes. Was it difficult for the people on the other end? But we all chime in and medicine to help each other out. And that was the first time that I was like, My child needs me. My children need me. I've taken care of everybody else's children for years. And I love doing it and I don't regret a single moment. But my child needed me in that moment. So I had to step back and take care of my family. That was really important to me. But then I was like sliding back into the work mode. When my leave was up and the situation was actually not that resolved, it was a little better. And exactly a year later, I was faced with that same decision as my son was having the same struggles. He could not even go through a day of school without having some sort of incident and being broken hearted. We came home and just couldn't do it. So, I'm homeschooling him now, but that was another time when I suddenly was convicted. That I knew in my heart of hearts, for more than just a few months, for a couple years, that I needed to make a shift, and that my personal situation suddenly caught me to attention. And in that moment, when I was the second time that my son had such a huge traumatic breakdown, such a difficult situation, that even my husband said, I think you need to take care of this. Then I knew how much longer am I going to be disobedient to the call of God? How much longer am I going to wait? And do what I'm called to do, even if it's scary, even if I have no idea how and what else has to happen in my family until I actually get to obedience. Because I was procrastinating on that decision, shall I leave or step down, based on fear. And it took a personal hardship, a personal challenge in my family for it to come to my attention. What I knew in my heart before. So this was sort of a big decision. And I left and I have not looked back. a minute and I'm grateful I did and I'm grateful for God's grace in having patience and showing me what needed to be done even though it was incredibly painful and I shed many tears over it. So that is a personal decision on a bigger scale, but these kind of things happen every day that we're making life decisions or little decisions that we procrastinate on, that we have an idea and we push it back because we are too busy or we are not sure and I want to just look at those situations and help you figure out it. Thank you. When are you procrastinating and disobedient to God? And when do you need to wake up, listen, and take action? So this happens with, again, with small decisions or big life decisions such as do you want to pick a different job? Do you feel led to go to a different city? About fellowship programs, like if you're out of training, okay, now I'm a fellow, I'm applying for my first academic job, all these are decisions that we usually work through in our head, right, we're trained to look at the pros and cons versus getting our knees and pray for God's And his wisdom to show us what needs to be done. And this happens in daily activities in medicine as well. So Galatians 6, 9 tells us, let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we don't give up. Let me read that again, Galatians 6, 9, let us not become weary of doing good, but for the proper time we will reap the harvest. If we don't give up. That verse really indicates that we should not procrastinate, that we should be pressing in, that we should not be giving up, that we should be moving forward even if it is hard. So what do I want to cover today? I'm going to talk to you about the difference between waiting on God and procrastination. What the Bible teaches us about procrastination, so we're going to look at a few verses. What are the roots of procrastination? how we can overcome it? And how do you actually figure out which one's happening right now in your life? So, the difference between waiting on God and procrastination. Procrastination is often just an excuse. Covered under I'm waiting for God, as I mentioned early, especially when it comes to things that we know he asked us to do, but we are fearful or we are uncertain of the next steps or what other people think. How do I know that? Because I have been there. The story I told you where it took me years to wrap my head around the fact that I probably needed to leave this position, was very clearly That I was in a way procrastinating and I can tell you so many incidences in just daily academic life where I have been procrastinating because I was afraid what people think and I was afraid of will this all work out and so I procrastinated not to face those Decisions or that fear, but I was stuck, which is worse. So, I can speak from personal experience, procrastination is an incredible painful place to be in, and not one that God wants us to be in. So I still do that at times. I still procrastinate and I have to repent from that and I have to put my values back on the Lord and actually say, wow, is this disobedience or not? So what is procrastination? As I mentioned a little bit, procrastination is basically a state where we are holding off on doing something we should be doing because we're afraid what other people think or the consequences. The formal definition is, it's an action of delaying or postponing something, and it's often an avoidance based on fear. So we're having an act of avoidance of something because we're afraid again of the outcome. Now how is that different from waiting on the Lord? A lot of times when we have to make decisions in our life, or life throws decisions at us, Perhaps a job opportunity, leaving a current position, going to another academic center, or perhaps in fellowship, what is my next training that I should be getting? These are decisions we should weigh in with the Lord. Basically, we are coming on a fork of a road, at a decision point, and we should ask the Lord what to do. So what do we do? Truly do? If we are sincere in our way of hearing from God, then we should pray, and we should wait for an answer. And this is often the hard part, waiting for the answer. Because... Oftentimes, at least in my life, I know I have prayed, but I was too impatient to wait for the answer because I was thinking time is running out, I have to make a decision, I'm not hearing God clearly, I'm going to take matters into my own hands, and usually That didn't work out so well, and perhaps you have been there too. So be mindful, when you pray, we talked about this in the lesson on prayer, actually sit with the Lord and wait for the answer. And with big decisions like, let's say, change of job, or big family decisions, things might not come immediately. The answer might not be there in an instant. In one prayer session, in one quiet time, it will likely need continuous prayer, perhaps even fasting, intercession by others. That means others are praying for you and interceding on your behalf in front of God for you. to break through in that moment, especially if these are powerful, big decisions, and that's okay. Know that God's timing is always perfect. And don't let the fear of, am I missing out on something that the world has for me, push you to a decision that then you make out of your own actions and not from God. And I think that is where many people, at least where I have stumbled to say, Oh God, I now gotta speed it up. So then I walk ahead of the Holy Spirit versus in lockstep with him. And that usually gets us in trouble and into a detour that then takes us longer to see the fruit of our labor or get to our destination. So you need to learn how to be quiet and sit in front of the Lord. And remember, your answers might come through scripture. Meaning, you're reading the word and something pops out at you that you haven't noticed before where God really speaks through his word. It might come in prayer that suddenly it is clear as you're praying what needs to be done. It will be the Holy Spirit often prompting us in these directions. It might be an ever so quiet voice. It might happen that you get an answer when you're actually the least expected or the least think about it, that God is suddenly revealing it to you. And it might sometimes come through often confirmation from other people, especially when it comes to bigger decisions. Watch out for all of these and be fine tuning yourself to is this God's voice or what, is this my own? doing. And usually in God's voice, while there is it often challenges us when he asks us to do something, there's usually also a piece that comes with that. Now, what does the Bible teach us about procrastination? I want to read you a few verses that you can just ponder on and reflect on yourself, but I think these are good resources for us to read. So, Ecclesiastes 9. 10. And I'm going to read from my notes here, so I don't mess it up, but whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, There is neither working, nor planning, nor knowledge, or wisdom. That is really powerful and kind of harsh, right? Ecclesiastes is sometimes interesting because it confronts us with our own death, with our own terminal time, that there is only a time we're here on this earth. So, whatever you find with your hands to do. Do it with all your might. That means do everything that you do up unto the Lord. Do it with excellence, with speed, when God prompts you, do it immediately and don't wait. And because when you are not here anymore, well, there will be no more working and planning and doing all these things. So do it now while you're here, which means also, you know, you have to plan, you have to work. Don't just like take random actions, but be diligent and mindful. The Bible also teaches us that discipline, tenacity, persistence, and diligent work is not fun in the moment. But it is very important. So Hebrews 12, 11 puts it this way. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces harvests of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. So, sometimes the things we are asked to do, Or the things we need to do just as part of our daily routine of our bigger vision picture where you often ask, okay, I need to work on these little activities and habits each day. Maybe writing or reading for your academic career, right? We need to do those things diligently. And there is a reward in doing things with tenacity, not a sexy word these days, right, or with persistence, but that is very important because that is where the reward lays. And yes, it is painful in the moment because we don't want to do it. And by nature, even us physicians, we don't want to think about it. We're very hardworking people, but by nature, most of us rather sit in. I hate to say laziness, but it is a way of, okay, I'm going to take a breather and that's understandable versus always in action. Now, some people are, I like to be busy and that's great. That's great. But by default, our human nature, our carnal fleshly nature is not the one that is eager to do things that don't enjoy doing. And a lot of activities we are, asked to do, or we have to be doing, are not always enjoyable. Hopefully that makes it clear. Proverbs 10. 4 tells us, Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. That is also a powerful gut punch. And again, you might be saying, We are not lazy people by nature as physicians and that is entirely true, but again, I think it's sometimes good to put in perspective and say, let's be diligent. We're not lazy but we are very busy, but are we diligent with the right type of work, with the right type of activity, or are we just busy with all sorts of things? Again, that's where hearing God's voice and understanding, what am I doing today? What is important for the Lord today? What does he have me do today is important. And I teach that all the time, how to plan and how to be intentional with your time because our time is limited. Next one, Proverbs 12, 24 teaches us diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. Again, it's sort of giving the same message. Be diligent with your hands. Don't be lazy. And even if you're a hard worker, be intentional what you're actually working on that is aligned with your assignment from God. your mission and your purpose. And if you don't know what that is, that is something important to really kind of pray about and something also I can help you with because that is what I love to do for people to help them get clarity. What is my mission? What is my vision? What is my purpose? But at the end of the day only you will know that answer and you have to get in prayer with the Lord and he will make it clear to you. Next verse, Ephesians 5, 15 to 17. Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. That is such a powerful verse, and I think we have to remind ourselves about it. Especially these days. Be very careful how you live. Live in radical obedience to the Lord and His Word. Be very wise in what you're doing, and when you're doing it, and what decisions you're making. And seize every opportunity the Lord gives you. Not just every opportunity out there. Because the days are evil. The days are short and honestly, we don't have time to mess around with the word of the lord and with our lives Our lives are supposed to be a sacrifice up unto the lord And they're supposed to point with everything that we got to jesus. I have to constantly Remind myself of that, that I need to live a life that points to Jesus, not to my own ambition, or my career, or whatever it might be. It needs to point to Jesus, who's the ultimate, he's the king in my life. So, so don't push things off. Once you have opportunity from the Lord, go get it done. How does that look like practically? When you know. In your heart of hearts, in your spirit, you've got marching orders from the Lord. Go do this. You must be radically obedient and execute right away. You might not know all the steps that are leading to this activity that need to get done. I'm doing a lot of things right now. God gave me very, very big visions and I will share them soon on the show and elsewhere, but they are so big. I cannot do them. I don't even know how to do any of this. But I just have to trust the Lord that He's giving me one baby step that I need to be faithful with. And the same for you. He might give you a very big vision. And you might say, Inga, I have no idea how to do this. This is out of my wheelhouse. I don't have the skills, the resources, the people, the knowledge. God will put one little thing in front of you. That you can do in this moment and be faithful with that and he will increase your capacity and your resources and help you get things done. If that vision you have in your life is from him, he has fully resourced and equipped you. He will give you the resources, he will bring you angelic hosts to help you in. Whatever you need to get done for the kingdom of Lord. That is his promise because it is his work through us, not us doing something. So that is really important. So one thing I want to leave you with, I really love this quote. I picked this up from various people and it really sits with me. Well, the fastest way to success is radical obedience. And I'm not saying success in the worldly way, success in the kingdom way. If you want to see the glory of God, the purpose fulfilled in life beyond your assignment, then the fastest way to get there and see that come to fruition, see the kingdom of God coming through you is obedience. Radical obedience and I cannot stress that enough to myself and all of you be radical obedient what the lord has for you And I have to constantly check myself. Am I doing that? Probably a lot of times not and then I have to get back on track I have to repent I have to pray to lean in I have to press in and say I must be obedient to this Because people's lives depend on it. People's eternity depends on it. So let's get real, people. It's not about us and our wonderful medical careers and our titles and our letters behind our name. And even how many patients you helped. If the glory of God is not flowing through you, none of that matters. And I'm preaching to myself right now. Good. So so why do we procrastinate and not do what we know in our hearts we should be doing? Thank you. And what are the roots of procrastination? As I mentioned, often that is a fear based behavior. Pretty much anything that where we procrastinate at some level has fear in it. So when we are saying, I'm waiting on the Lord, in actuality, we are probably often doing procrastination. Unless you're truly waiting, and you're praying, and you have not heard a beep, then sit and be patient. But often we're afraid we're doing something wrong, that we don't know, again, how to do it. And then we sit and wait and do nothing. Because we're afraid of either the consequences, the outcome, or we, we say we don't know. And that is the worst place to be in, because now you're stuck. You're not moving forward. You are a ship in a harbor, and guess what? A ship in the harbor cannot be steered in any direction. You are stuck and parked, and you're of no use to yourself, or to the kingdom of God. You cannot move a parked car. If you're parked, and that means you're stuck, and you're just not moving forward, God cannot steer you. And a lot of times, I know, us physicians especially, we're kind of perfectionists, we don't want to get it wrong, we don't want to hear the Lord wrong, right? We want to get it right. So what we're doing is, we're like waiting and sitting and not doing anything, and it's hard for God to work with that probably. I mean, He can work with anything. He works with all of us, and we are so broken. Useless in many ways. But, it is sometimes... It's easier to work with something that is in motion and to redirect its course than putting something into motion. That's a physics principle, right? Law of inertia. So you have to get moving. And I know you're afraid probably. Am I doing the right thing? Guess what? If you're walking in the wrong direction but you're earnestly seeking God, He will correct you and He will lead you. Because... He loves you and he wants to see his will for your life fulfilled in your life. He's going to work with you if you continue to stay in communication. But if you're not doing anything at all, it's hard to work with. In my position, it was like, okay with my son, I wasn't doing anything at all. I kept on mulling it over. Maybe I should be doing something differently. I think the Lord wants me to do something differently, but I kept on mulling it over. I didn't actually. Proceed in any of the slightest direction. I looked at a job, but I also, that was also interesting. Another story for another time. That was a powerful word of God. Wow. A powerful testimony that we'll share, but it it's very interesting. So the Lord had to send me other things to get me moving. Like trauma with my son. That wasn't fun. And that was probably, it taught me a lot. But sometimes then we might face more difficult situations, or more louder prompting, until we hear. And I don't know if we don't hear. Because what God has to train somebody else up for the job. So. Procrastination is often a fear based behavior. Fear of what? Not hearing God, the unknown, the uncertainty, will this work out, not getting it right, what other people think. We worry about that way too much, all of us. How do we overcome it? We move forward, we put our trust in God. If He told us something to do, He will work it out for our good. He will provide resources, as I mentioned. So. Just keep on moving forward. And as I mentioned, if we don't, if we keep on procrastinating, I feel at least based on my experience and I don't have theological like here, 10 verses right now, but at some ways if the Lord needs something done on the earth and he created you for this, but God's, he has a unique role for us, but I also believe. That if, if that person doesn't follow through, then he has to train somebody else up for what he needs to be done. If God wants to bring something forth, He will knock on somebody else's doors to answer the call. God isn't looking for our perfection, our titles, our degrees. God is looking for our obedience and our yes. He isn't even looking for our skills or our perfection. All He wants from us is a desire and a yes. And he can work with any, we can work with that. So keep that in mind that a lot of what's happening, God is dependent on you. He brought you here at this point in time with your unique story, with your unique skills to do something right now. So if you feel in your heart, there is something, and I'm totally going off script here, but they were something in your heart, you feel like you need to do. And you heard the God's voice for a while, pray, repent and say, God, I'm sorry, I know what I need to do. Thank you for leading the way and turn to him in prayer and he will, he will lead you. So if you hear that voice and you feel like, Oh my goodness, yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. And I've been struggling with that. Then now is the time to change course and direction. And come before the Lord and start afresh. So, I also want to say that if we procrastinate, we have fallen prey to the enemy's attack to get us off assignment. One of the key things he is working through is making sure that God's people, and that includes physicians, are not doing what they are supposed to be doing in the kingdom of God, because that is a threat to his rule. End. So, he will do anything to get you off assignment. He will keep you busy, he will throw curveballs at you, he will get you in a frenzy at work with colleagues in academic competition, whatever it might be. He will get you off assignment. And if you are procrastinating, likely the enemy has taken you off assignment and sidelined you. Now let that sink in, that is some serious stuff. So again, but God is stronger, we can be protected, and we should repent from that. So I just want to pray today that we all learn to listen to God's prompting and his voice and that we know the difference of being listening to God's voice and his voice. So let me just pray for all of us and then we, we finish up. So Heavenly Father, thank you for everybody who is listening, anybody who is listening to this now or later on in the future, even years from now. Lord, that you teach us, please, what you want and what your will for our life is, that you please Help us to learn to listen to your voice with great intent and with great obedience that we not procrastinate on the things you ask us to do, but that we move forward, empower by the Holy Spirit, not by our own might, not by our own strength, not by our own titles, not by our own academic education, but in might and strength through the Holy Spirit, because we able Nothing within ourselves, but we can do all things who in Christ who is in us. So we repent Lord where we have been off track. We repent where we have been disobedient as a sign and just have been procrastination. But we. Are ready to change direction and we need your direction for our life to help us move forward. So please speak to us, forgive us where we got off track and put us on a new track towards your kingdom and to glory so that you will be done on this earth for all of us Christian physicians that we will be the hands and feet of Jesus that lives will be safe. People will be healed that we are touching and praying over and thank you Lord Jesus. So I hope this serves you. In the next episode, I wanna talk about jealousy and, and we certainly not characteristics we are hoping, but we all facing and struggling with at times, especially in a competitive healthcare or academic environment.
