When You Do Everything Right and It Still Goes Wrong

Have you ever followed all the rules, trusted god, and still watched things fall apart?  It is a painful place to be. Today, we look at why obedience is never wasted, even when we do not see the results we hoped for.

In this 5-minute devotional, we explore:
- Why God promises vindication instead of an explanation.
- How to live in the gap between your obedience and the outcome.
- The truth about God's "layered" timing.
- Why being honest with God through lament is actually an act of worship.

If you feel like your story has stalled, remember that the chapter you are in today is not the last one. God is still writing.
