Daily Devotional (January-28-2023) The Uncomfortable Path to a Miracle

“Then the LORD spoke his word to Elijah, ‘Go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I have commanded a widow there to take care of you.’ So Elijah went to Zarephath.” - 1 Kings 17:8-10 (NCV)

Sometimes you’re scared to death and vulnerable. You don’t know where you’re going, how long it’s going to take, or what’s going to happen when you get there. So what do you do? 

You remember that the path to a miracle often goes through uncomfortable territory.

The Bible gives an illustration in 1 Kings 17:8-10: “Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah, ‘Go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I have commanded a widow there to take care of you.’ So Elijah went to Zarephath” (NCV).

God’s instructions meant that Elijah would have to walk more than 100 miles during a drought through dangerous territory. Everyone he met would know who he was—and King Ahab had a price on his head. Elijah’s path was definitely an uncomfortable one.

When Elijah finally made it to Zarephath, he met a poor widow who was going to feed him. But the town still was full of pagan people who wouldn’t hesitate to kill him. How could the widow defend or protect him?

Miracles don’t happen when things are comfortable. Miracles happen when things are uncomfortable.

Elijah didn’t say, “God, there are three things wrong with this plan. One, you’re sending me in the wrong direction. Two, you’re sending me to the wrong location. And three, you’re sending me to the wrong protection.”

Elijah just obeyed.

God’s path to a miracle often takes you through uncomfortable territory so you’ll learn to depend on him. It was true for Elijah and for God’s people throughout the Bible. For instance:

• When Moses led the Israelites out of slavery to the Promised Land, they had to go through the Red Sea first.
• Before David could slay Goliath, he had to walk onto the battlefield.
• God told Jehoshaphat to put the choir before the army, and he’d win the victory. How much faith do you think that took?
• Miracles never happen in your comfort zone. When everything is settled in your life, you don’t need a miracle. You only need a miracle when you’re at a low.

Are you at a place where things are a little uncomfortable—financially, emotionally, relationally, or physically? Maybe you’re nervous, unsettled, or insecure. Congratulations. You’re on the path to a miracle!

On your uncomfortable path, follow the example of Elijah. Obey God so you can see his miracle at the end of the road.

Talk It Over

• What is God asking you to do that makes you uncomfortable?
• When have you seen God work a miracle in an uncomfortable situation for you or someone you know? How did that cause you to depend more on him?
• Who are the people who can encourage you on the uncomfortable road of faith you may be walking right now?

Jentezen Franklin  Watch Sermon: Miracles in Your Home. This is "Miracles in Your Home". God is shining a light into our homes during this time. We’re in the midst of a rare opportunity for families to take inventory of their spiritual lives and see where we’ve laid up our riches. Inside a church building cannot be the only place we worship. It cannot be the only place we pray. We can no longer wait until we “go to church” to read the Bible, take communion, or lay hands on one another for healing. Could it be that God is saying, “Time is of the essence. I want you to nurture the Lamb—your relationship with Jesus—in your homes, with your families.” In this message, Jentezen Franklin teaches us an important lesson from Scripture: When you can’t give your family anything else, you can give them the Lamb.

John Hagee - Watch Sunday Sermon: The Miracle of Provision. Christianity began with a fish story. The disciples had fished all night when Jesus got into the boat, telling them to cast their nets in the deep. Experienced fishermen said, “Nevertheless, at Your word…” They forsook ALL and followed him. Their success began with a failure. Are you frustrated with your limited success? Have you tried your best and produced nothing? Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker. Persistence overcomes resistance…it finds a way, not an excuse. Nothing is impossible with God! They followed Jesus, who taught them to be servants before disciples. We must forsake all to become servants, making a difference for the Kingdom.
