Being in Christ changes everything.

Think of Noah and the ark. When the rains came, those inside the ark were safe. Those outside—even those clinging to it—were lost. Proximity to Jesus is not enough. We must be in Him.

What changed for the disciples after Jesus' resurrection? They had followed Him closely, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teaching. But it wasn’t until Pentecost that they became fearless. The Holy Spirit came down and filled them with power. Cowards became courageous.

Joseph’s brothers let jealousy lead them into deception. They devised a scheme, made a cover-up, and lived a lie for years. The result? Broken relationships, deep regret, and generational wounds.

Some days, I move forward with confidence. Other days, I find myself crawling—tempted to retreat to what once felt safer, easier, more familiar. And sometimes, I’m simply wandering, distracted, moving without purpose. But God’s hand never leaves. When I reach for Him, I find Him right where He has always been.
