God’s call may lead us to a season of difficulty and opposition from the enemy (Matthew:4:1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
See All...). Trials do not indicate that we missed God or somehow lost our way. The very thing that God most desires to accomplish in us and through us is the very thing that the kingdom of darkness wants to oppose. We should not allow difficulties and discouragements to prevent us from obeying the call of God. If we obey and trust God’s call, the Lord will be glorified by our obedience and our faith will grow exponentially.
