Expect Resistance - Friday, 03/06/2026

Scripture: Matthew 4:1–11 (selected verses)

After baptism comes wilderness. After calling comes testing.

Whenever we step toward renewal, resistance often follows — inner doubt, old habits resurfacing, external pushback.

The presence of struggle does not mean you misheard God. It may mean growth is underway.

Beginning again requires perseverance.

Reflection Question:
What resistance are you experiencing as you try to change?

Action Step:
Identify one supportive person and share your commitment to begin again. Ask them to pray for or encourage you.

Prayer:
Strength-giving God, steady me in testing. Help me persevere toward the life you promise. Amen.
