Jesus never promised calm waters or a smooth path. He promised His presence in them.

Read: Luke 8 (22-25)

Sometimes Jesus calms the storm around us. Other times, He sends us straight into unknown territory.

Many of us love reading stories about faith, we love hearing testimonies, and we love celebrating miracles. But, if we’re honest with ourselves… we like the idea of faith more than what having faith requires us to do.

However, some of the greatest Kingdom work happens when we’re off-roading or in rough waters. Those seasons aren’t wasted, they’re not a drawback, and they don’t have to happen for nothing.

It’s where testimonies are born.
Where wounds become witnesses.
Where God can transform trauma, hardship, and brokenness into stories that point people to Him.

Read: Luke 10

When the 72 came back, they “returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.””

Lives were changed. People were healed. Hope was restored. Jesus tells us exactly how to do this!

But first, they had to GO. We can ask ourselves, “what if the challenging path isn’t punishment? What if this is preparation? What if Jesus is inviting me beyond comfort and into purpose?”

God is always preparing us for our next thing.

Let’s go the places that are the most challenging. Jesus does his best work when he takes us off-roading.

Let our prayer be this:

“Jesus, I understand You will often take me off-roading as you form my faith in unexpected places. If I’m honest, I like the idea more than the involvement. I realize this isn’t as optional as I often think or would like. I don’t always like it when you take me on a boat. I love reading about it, but I don’t like it when you call me to do it. It scares me. But when the waters raise, teach me to trust you. Teach me to seek You, to lean on You for strength, joy, peace, words, and discernment. Teach me to point to the throttle and say “That’s my favorite button.” Jesus, I trust you that we’re in this together. Just as you were there for the 72, you’re here for me. I’m available. Let’s go off-roading.”

You are so loved!

Happy Monday! As you’re going through your week, let’s remember that temptation rarely shows up looking wrong, it often shows up looking reasonable.

Satan is never going to tempt us with things that are offensive to us, he’s always going to tempt us with things that appeal to our desires, fears, comfort, and our sense of control.

In the wilderness, Jesus was tempted not because he was weak or incapable, but because Satan’s true target was his relationship with God. (Read Matthew 4:1-11)

When life gets chaotic and you’re in the middle of the desert, you have to ask yourself, “Am I going to live the Jesus way or live for myself?”

The things that you’re tempted with are never the target or the issue. They’re the thing that Satan wants to use to defeat your spirit and they often look positive, shiny, and good.

They could look like:
Comfort……… over Calling
Success…….. over Surrender
Productivity…….. over Intimacy with God
Security…….. over Faith

So what does that make the target? YOU. The enemy doesn’t want you to have a relationship with our Almighty God. Satan doesn’t want to see you in HEAVEN. He wants to find whatever he can to disrupt that journey for you.

And our God moves Heaven and Earth to keep you from spending eternity in Hell. Run to Him! 🤍
