Good intentions don’t always mean good direction.

In this episode, Bob Shaw shares a humorous childhood story about trying to “dig for the devil” — a sincere but wildly misguided plan — and uses it to explore a deeper spiritual truth: we can have real passion, genuine faith, and good motives, yet still misunderstand what God is doing.

Drawing from Romans 10:2, Proverbs 14:12, and Ephesians 6:12, this devotional reminds us that zeal without understanding can lead us in the wrong direction — and that God graciously shapes sincere hearts rather than shaming them.

A thoughtful and encouraging reminder that growth often begins with correction.
