Knowing Him Daily

04.April.2026

Saturday had no miracles recorded. No recorded teachings, and no crowds. Simply a sealed tomb, with Roman guards posted outside, and the people who loved Jesus most sitting somewhere in the city trying to make sense of what had just happened.

Matthew 27:60-66 tells us the stone was rolled into place, sealed, and secured. From the outside it looked like the end of the story. From the inside, God was not finished.

That is what a “Saturday” feels like sometimes.

You have prayed, you have believed, you have done everything you know to do, and you are still standing, Romans 6:13. Lamentations 3:26 says it is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord, not frantically, not demanding, but quietly. And Psalm 46:10 reminds us to be still and know that He is God. The stillness is not wasted time. The waiting is not silence from heaven. It is preparation.

I recently received an email from someone very dear to me, the wife of my former pastor. Her husband went on to be with the Lord, but she is still faithfully sending out emails and still pointing people to Jesus. In a recent email she shared a testimony of believing for a broken relationship to be restored, specifically between herself, her late husband, and a woman in their church who had taken offense over something small. Instead of striving or reasoning it out, she began praying Colossians 1:20, asking the Lord to let the blood of Jesus fully reconcile that relationship. It wasn’t long before that woman came to them, repented, and the relationship was completely restored.

The blood of Jesus reconciles. Not just between us and God, but between us and each other.

Maybe as you’re reading this, a face just came to mind. A childhood friend, an ex spouse, one of your children, a parent or grandparent, or maybe someone you see every week but the distance between you is still very much there. Someone you haven’t spoken to in years, or someone you see every week but the distance is still there. Consider making Colossians 1:20 your prayer today. Lord, let the blood of Jesus fully reconcile my relationship with ___________.

And when you have prayed it, close with this:

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14.

Sitting with Him, meditating on His goodness and His faithfulness, that is never wrong and never wasted, not on Saturday, not ever.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
