Trust the Process

Aug 16, 2026    Mark Johnson

What do you do when life floods you with the unexpected? When the plans you carefully laid get washed away and you find yourself standing in the middle of chaos you never saw coming? This message takes us deep into a rarely explored story in 2 Kings 4, where the prophet Elisha and a group of hungry men find themselves in the middle of a famine with nothing but a large pot, some unidentified wild gourds, and a God who specializes in turning messes into miracles. The central challenge placed before us is this: can we trust the process even when the pathway gets dark, the ingredients look wrong, and the stew smells like death? We are reminded that God is not surprised by the storms that blindside us. The famine was not on anyone's calendar, but it was on God's. And that changes everything. Rather than shrinking back in scarcity, we are called to think in terms of the large pot -- to resist the temptation to play it small when God is calling us to prepare for something greater than we can currently see. This is a message about faith that moves before the miracle arrives, and it is deeply relevant for anyone who feels like their life is in a season of waiting, uncertainty, or upheaval.
