Knowing Him Daily

08.May.2026

There is a place you arrive at after honest work, after looking at your story without flinching, after naming what was survival and what was design, after sitting in the quiet long enough to finally hear yourself. It isn’t a destination exactly, it’s more like a posture. And the posture is this: hands open, face up, everything laid down.

To God alone.

Truly my soul silently waits for God, David wrote in Psalm 62:1, from Him comes my salvation. And then again in verse 5, my soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. Not from the resolution of old patterns, nor from finally having it all figured out, but Him alone. That’s where the waiting goes, and that’s where the answer comes.

This whole series has been a journey of uncovering, but uncovering was never the destination. The destination is surrender. Bringing what has been revealed and laying it at His feet, the survival, the adaptations, the roles, the years of not quite knowing who you were, all of it offered back to the One who designed you in the first place.

Aaron Shust wrote a song that has walked with me through this series and this is its day. He sings, to God alone be the glory, to God alone be the praise, everything I say and do, let it be all for you. That’s the cry of someone who has seen enough of their own story to know that none of it, not the hard parts or the beautiful parts, belongs to themselves. The glory was never ours to keep.

He also sings, take the offering I bring, You want more than what I sing, can I give you every part of me. Every part. Not just the polished parts, not just the parts we’ve cleaned up and figured out, every part, including the parts we are just now meeting for the first time.

Colton Dixon has been singing alongside us all week too, and his words land here with full weight, You have been my God through all of it. Through the survival. Through the roles. Through the years of adapting and adjusting and not quite knowing. Through the quiet season and the revealing and the breaking open. Through all of it, He was God who never stepped away. He never lost the thread of who you were and now you get to say thank you.

If you’ve never invited Jesus into your heart, today is the day. Pray this:

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. Help me to live like the beloved that I already am in Christ. Thank you for saving me.

In Jesus name,

Amen

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
