In this message, Dr. Derek Grier encourages us to trust God even when the path feels longer, harder, and more confusing than expected. Drawing from Exodus 13 and 14, he reveals how God sometimes takes us the “hard way on purpose” to build our strength, deepen our trust, and prepare us for the battles ahead. When fear creeps in and setbacks return, we’re reminded that God’s presence and plan have already gone before us. Calm down, stand still, and watch what happens when you use what’s already in your hand.
