Why You Stop Fighting What Jesus Christ Already Designed for Your Development

Solomon asked, "Who can straighten what God has made crooked?"

You can't. And that's the point. Some things Jesus allows to stay crooked because the crooked path develops what the straight one never could.

Stop fighting the detour. Jesus designed it. The obstacle isn't blocking your path. It is your path. Kingdom living means trusting that what looks crooked to you looks purposeful to Him. He's not confused about your route. You are. And that's okay. Because the crooked path teaches dependence. It builds faith. It forces you to lean on Him instead of your understanding. You can't straighten what God curved. Stop trying. Start trusting. The crooked road leads somewhere the straight one doesn't.

What crooked path are you fighting that Jesus Christ is using to develop what the straight path never could?
