Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer went to share God’s love with the people of Afghanistan. They knew serving God in that Muslim-governed country would be difficult but never expected that after only a few months they would be put on trial for their obedience to God’s call. Yet despite the unexpected, they remained faithful to God. In answer to the prayers of thousands, they were released from prison.
Many time things don’t happen as we expect. This was the situation in which Joseph found himself when he discovered Mary was pregnant with God’s Son. God wants us to come to Him when we don’t understand what’s happening. He knows what we should do, and He wants to guide us.
Lord, empower me to remain faithful to You when things don’t happen as I expected.
