Knowing Him Daily

11.March.2026

We have covered a lot of ground together. Faithfulness. Gifts. The secret place. Fruit. The Great Commission. Obedience. Fractures. And a history that stretches from Egyptian bondage to a Persian palace to five million Iranians choosing Jesus in our lifetime. And if you have been paying attention, you may have noticed something threading through every single day. Nothing God does is accidental. Nothing He asks of you is insignificant. And nothing, not one moment, not one choice, not one act of obedience whether seen or unseen, is ever truly small.

Esther’s story alone should support you in your choices and endeavors. She was an orphan. She had no parents, no political power, no plan. She was living in a foreign palace under a foreign king keeping a secret about who she really was. And when the moment came, she could have said no. She could have stayed comfortable, stayed hidden, stayed safe. Mordecai’s request was not a small one. He was asking her to risk her life. And if she had said no, an entire people group could have been wiped from the face of the earth. The Jewish nation, God’s covenant people, gone. And with them, the very bloodline through which Jesus would one day come. One choice. One moment of courage or cowardice. The weight of it is staggering when you really think about it.

And then there is Rahab. A woman with a complicated past, living on the wall of Jericho. When the Israelite spies came through, she had a choice. She could have turned them in. She could have protected herself and stayed out of it. Instead she hid them, lied to protect them, and hung a scarlet cord from her window as a sign of faith. That outward sign, the visible cord saved her and her household. This is Rahab, that woman with the complicated past who made one bold choice, ended up in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Matthew 1:5. Look it up. One scarlet cord. Nothing was ever small.

Now consider your own life. The choices that seemed ordinary. The ones that felt routine or even trivial at the time. What if the Ephesians 1 Prayer you pray every morning over your wayward adult child is the very thing that breaks the chain holding them captive? What if the consistency of your obedience in private is what tips the scales in the spirit realm for someone you love? You may never see it happening. You may pray for years without visible evidence. But you are not praying into silence. You are praying into a covenant.

What if your daily smile at the coffee shop is the very thing that opens the door? What if your barista has been watching you for months, noticing something different about you, and one ordinary Tuesday morning they finally ask? And you are ready because you have been faithful in the secret place. Because you have been willing, not just obedient. The person you are at home is the person who shows up everywhere else. That is not a warning, it is a promise. Faithfulness in private becomes credibility in public, and credibility opens doors that a sermon never could. That conversation takes thirty seconds and it changes their eternity.

What if the van you show up with every week to serve your community is the first time someone has ever experienced the tangible love of Jesus? Not a sermon. Not a program. Just someone who showed up consistently because they said they would. Faithfulness has a face. And sometimes that face is yours.

You matter. Not because of what you produce or how polished your gifts are or whether anyone is watching. You matter because you carry His presence into every room you walk into, every conversation you have, every quiet moment of obedience that nobody sees but Him. What you do in private will always be reflected in public. Everything done in secret will eventually be seen. The question is not whether it matters. It always matters. The question is what you are building in the hidden places where only He can see.

Make the hard choices. The ones that cost you something. The ones that require you to be willing, not just obedient. The ones that look insignificant from the outside but carry the weight of eternity on the inside. Because somewhere down the line someone may be standing in the fullness of what God promised them, and your one quiet act of faithfulness will be woven into how they got there.

Esther did not know she was saving a nation. Rahab did not know she was stepping into the lineage of Christ. And you do not know what your faithfulness is setting in motion right now.

But He does.

If you stumbled onto this post today and you have no idea what I have been talking about, I want to invite you to make the most important decision of your life. And if you once knew Him but have wandered, I want you to know it is not too late. He is not waiting to condemn you. He is waiting to restore you, renew you, and remind you of who you are in Him. Return to Him today. Say this out loud, and mean it:

Dear Heavenly Father, 

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

Welcome home. Now go make today count.
