When God’s Call Doesn’t Make Sense

Daily Devotional

The Baffling Call of God

Jesus walked His disciples straight into confusion.

He told them what was coming—rejection, death, sorrow.
They didn’t understand.
How could they?
It didn’t fit the story they were expecting.

But God wasn’t writing their version of success—
He was accomplishing His purpose.

The call of God rarely makes sense on the surface.
It doesn’t come with clear instructions or visible reward.
Sometimes it even leads us straight into what looks like failure.

But just like the sea calls to the sailor—
God calls to the one whose heart is tuned to His.

It’s not a call to clarity.
It’s a call to comradeship—to walk with Him, even when you don’t understand.

Kingdom Discipleship: A Word from Pastor Kevin

Sons and daughters,
God may call you to places that don’t make sense—
but they make saints.

You don’t need to figure it all out.
You need to walk with the One who’s already written the end.
Your calling isn’t to control the outcome.
It’s to follow His voice—even when you’re baffled by the path.

Because what the world calls failure,
He calls faithfulness.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• Where am I still demanding clarity instead of offering trust?

• What if the confusion in my life is actually God’s call in disguise?

• Am I following Jesus only when it makes sense—or even when it doesn't?
