Summary

Sometimes the Spirit of God leads us into places that are difficult, not comfortable. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on Matthew 4:1–2, where Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. Though He was hungry, tired, and alone, Jesus obeyed. Pastor John challenges us to ask: will we still follow God when His path includes sacrifice? True faith means trusting that God’s will is good, even when it requires denial, waiting, or surrender. If you’ve ever wondered why obedience feels costly, this episode will encourage you to follow the example of Jesus—listening to God’s voice, saying yes to His will, and finding strength in His Spirit.
