Reading: Matthew 28:16-20
Devotional: Jesus' final promise wasn't "You'll never struggle" but "I am with you always." He called His disciples into the hardest mission imaginable—overturning oppressive systems, facing persecution, changing the world—and His gift wasn't ease but companionship. We often measure God's faithfulness by how smooth our path is, but God measures it by whether He stays with us. What if God's greatest promise this year isn't removing your hardship but walking through it with you? His presence in chemotherapy appointments, lonely evenings, and moments of temptation is the blessing. Stop asking God to make life easy and start recognizing that He—not your circumstances—is the good thing. Where do you need to shift from demanding removal to receiving presence?
