Knowing Him Daily

03.March.2026

Let’s continue in the momentum. I hope you still have that list. And I hope yesterday you did the one small thing, because today we are about to talk about why it matters more than you might think.

Jesus told a story. And He told it for us, right now, in this moment in history.

A man going on a journey called his servants together and entrusted each of them with something valuable, “to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his own ability.” Matthew 25:15, NKJV Then he left. No instructions. No checklist. No micromanaging from a distance. Just trust, distributed according to what each person could handle, and then the freedom to do something with it.

Two of the servants went to work immediately. The third buried his.

When the master returned, the ones who had multiplied what they were given heard the words every one of us is living for: “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.” Matthew 25:21, NKJV And the one who buried his? He lost everything that had been entrusted to him.

This is not a story about money. It is a story about me and it’s a story about you.

God has entrusted all of us with something, a gift, a calling, a sphere of influence, a story, a skill, distributed to you specifically, according to your ability. Not someone else’s ability. Yours. And right now, in this very season, He has stepped back and given you the freedom to decide what you are going to do with it. That freedom is not indifference on His part. It is trust. He believes you can handle what He gave you. The question is whether you believe it.

“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.” Luke 16:10, NKJV

This verse does not leave much wiggle room. Faithfulness is not reserved for the big assignments. It starts in the small ones. It starts in the everyday, ordinary, nobody-is-watching moments when you choose to do the thing He put in your hands rather than set it aside for a more convenient season. There is no more convenient season. There is only now, and what you do with now is building the foundation for everything He wants to trust you with next.

“Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” 
1 Corinthians 4:2, NKJV 

Required. We saw that word on Day 1 and it shows up again here because it means the same thing it meant then, this is not optional. Stewardship is not a personality type. It is not for the naturally disciplined or the highly motivated. It is required of everyone who has been given a trust. And every single one of us has been given one.

Here is where it gets personal. “The fruit of the Spirit is… faithfulness.” Galatians 5:22, NKJV Faithfulness is fruit. Fruit does not appear overnight and it does not grow without tending. It is the result of being rooted in the right place, drawing from the right source, and staying connected even when the season feels dry. You do not manufacture faithfulness by trying harder. You cultivate it by staying planted in Him and choosing every day to do something with what He gave you.

The servant who buried his talent was not evil. He was afraid. He played it safe, protected what he had, and called it wisdom.

Dr. Myles Munroe said it this way: “The wealthiest place in the world is not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They are the cemeteries. Buried in the ground are inventions we never saw, books never written, paintings never painted, businesses never started, ministries never birthed, because people took their gifts to the grave.”

Read that again. Let it settle.

Fear dressed up as caution is still fear. And fear will keep you buried right alongside the gift God meant for the world to see.

So today’s challenge has two parts. First, look at that list again, the one from Day 1 with everything you would do if you knew you could not fail. Now ask yourself honestly: am I multiplying or burying? Second, pick one talent God gave you and identify one specific way to multiply it this week. Not someday. This week. It does not have to be grand. It just has to be intentional.

The Master is coming back, very soon. Let Him find you working.

And if fear tries to talk you out of it, remind it of this: “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6, NKJV He started it. He will finish it. Your only job is to stay faithful in the middle.

Father, I don’t want to be someone who played it safe with what You entrusted to me. Forgive me for the times fear looked like wisdom and I buried instead of multiplied. Today I choose to be a faithful steward of every gift, every calling, every opportunity You have placed in my hands. I trust You with the outcome. 
In Jesus’ name, 
Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
