14 APR 26 Devotional - Courage to Believe- Courage Before Clarity

 

Day 2 – Courage Before Clarity

Scripture: John 11:14–16

Reflection:

Before Thomas doubted, he was courageous.

When Jesus said He was returning to Judea—a place of danger—it was Thomas who said:

“Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”

That is not the voice of a coward. That is loyalty. That is devotion.

But Thomas misunderstood the mission. He thought the story was heading toward death—when Jesus was preparing to reveal life.

How often do we do the same?

We interpret circumstances through fear, not faith. We assume the worst, even when God is working something greater.

Courage isn’t always the absence of confusion—it’s choosing to follow Jesus even when you don’t fully understand.

Application:

Where might you be misreading your situation?

Ask God to help you see beyond your assumptions.

Prayer:

Jesus, give me courage to follow You—even when I don’t yet understand what You are doing. Amen.
