As I follow God’s calling, one exciting opportunity I’m looking forward to is leading a trip to Turkey and Greece where we will explore cities from Paul’s missionary journeys and share devotional thoughts at each biblical site.

Although the narrow road can be challenging, God is our rescuer, and through His help, we can endure and shine a light for others to follow, leading them to the same path of life.

Paul’s experience teaches that a life with Christ surpasses all worldly gains and comforts. His willingness to endure suffering reflects a deep understanding that the eternal worth of knowing Christ far exceeds temporary afflictions.

When we surrender everything to God, he will not only accomplish his will in our lives; but he will also bring us full and abundant joy.
