KEY SCRIPTURES

2 Timothy 2:3-4 (ESV)

"Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him."

Joshua 1:8-9 (ESV)

"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

1 Peter 5:8-9 (ESV)

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world."

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

What is one area where you've wanted to quit recently? Not permanently—step back, rest, let someone else carry it. What would it look like to recognize that desire to leave as resistance instead of truth?

When you feel discouragement or confusion about your calling, what do you typically do? Do you try to think your way out of it? Do you rest? Do you push harder? What would it look like to stand in your calling instead?

How would your leadership shift if you believed that resistance is often a sign that a breakthrough is near? Instead of a sign to quit, what if it's a sign you're about to open a door the enemy doesn't want open?

What is your calling? Not your business. Your calling. The thing God commissioned you to do. Can you state it clearly? Because you can't stand firm in something you haven't named.
