Knowing Him Daily

22.October.2025

Obedience matters. Disobedience, no matter how small it appears, carries weight, sometimes instantly, sometimes over time, but always with consequences.

Before we dive in, take a moment to lift your eyes. Let this song wash over you, reminding us Who we’re beholding:

This series began in Eden, where Adam and Eve’s choice to disobey set the stage for humanity’s struggle with faith over fear. From their fall to the compromises of kings, prophets, and everyday wanderers, we’ve traced the heartbreaking tragedies of hearts that drifted, stories of lost inheritances, shattered legacies, and missed promises. As we close, let’s remember: not everyone drifts. Some stand firm, eyes fixed on God’s promises, even when the ground shakes.

When Moses sent twelve spies to scout the Promised Land, all saw the same reality: fortified cities, towering giants, and a land flowing with milk and honey (Numbers 13:27-28). Yet their reports divided them. Ten were paralyzed by fear, their words igniting panic: “We can’t go up against them; they’re stronger than we are” (Numbers 13:31). Their doubt spread like wildfire, and a generation’s hope melted away.

Joshua and Caleb saw the same giants, but they were not impressed by them. Their attention was set on the size of their God. They spoke honestly about the reality before them, but their confidence was anchored in the faithfulness of the One who had parted the Red Sea, crushed Pharaoh’s army, and were fed by miraculous manna that had fallen. Caleb’s voice cut through the fear: “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30). Their confidence wasn’t in their own strength but in the God who keeps His Word.

Sadly, the nation chose fear over faith. Ten voices drowned out two, and a generation forfeited the promise. But Joshua and Caleb stood apart, aligned with God’s purpose. In time, they walked into the land others only dreamed of, a sobering pivot from tragedy to triumph.

I’ve been there, staring at my giants, like family rifts or choices that bring sadness to my heart, tempted to let their size eclipse God’s faithfulness. In these last days, when the race is like a final sprint, it’s easy to slow down or veer lanes. Like you, I’ve wrestled with ripples beyond my control, wondering if I’m running alone. But this story reminds us: strength isn’t found outside the battle. It’s in the thick of it, where God’s power steadies our steps. When we lift our eyes from the problem to the Promise-Keeper, faith takes hold, and gratitude floods in, He is there. “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, From whence comes my help?” (Psalms‬ ‭121‬:‭1‬)

Our choices matter. The ten saw obstacles; Joshua and Caleb saw opportunity. While others turned back, they leaned into God’s plan. It matters how we see, who we trust, and whether our hearts stay anchored.

This series, from Adam and Eve’s rebellion through biblical tragedies to Joshua and Caleb’s stand, shows the cost of compromise and the reward of faithfulness. Now, we turn to the faith giants, Daniel, David, and others, who ran their race with unwavering trust. For today, let Joshua and Caleb remind us: God isn’t limited by what we see, and neither should we be. He’s faithful, and in these last days, He’s calling us to take Him at His Word… and run harder.

“If the Lord delights in us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us.” (Numbers 14:8)

If you’ve never given your life to Jesus, or if you’ve walked away, trying to do life your own way it’s not too late. He’s calling you back. He’s been waiting. Return to Him today. Surrender your plans, your pain, and your past. He’s ready to restore, renew, and realign you with your divine purpose.

Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
