Knowing Him Daily

21.May.2026

There is a counterfeit stillness the enemy loves. It looks like waiting, it feels like wisdom, but it is neither. It is spiritual paralysis that looks like patience, and it will cost you everything if you let it.

The god of this world wants you to do nothing. Not because nothing is harmless, but because nothing is one of his greatest weapons against a life that was made to bear fruit (distraction is probably the greatest in my opinion if you wondered). He doesn’t always come at you with chaos. Sometimes he comes with comfort, with delay, and the suggestion that there is always tomorrow.

Jesus said something different. He said, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me” (John 15:4). Remain. Stay connected. Not passive but rooted.

Here is what remaining requires: discipline over your flesh. Your flesh does not get what it wants when it wants it. It gets what is scheduled or what is earned. That is not punishment, that is training and discipline. Every athlete, every soldier, every person who has ever built anything that lasted has understood this. You do not drift into fruitfulness. You remain into it. Ask me how I know….

Be regimented about what you meditate on. The Word is not one input among many. It is the main thing, and we must guard it like that. Your enemy knows that you only need one verse, one living, breathing word from God, to be disarmed in everything he has built against you. That is why he works so hard to crowd it out.

Now, and this matters, remaining is not the same for everyone in every season. There is a time to be still, to wait, to hold the ground while heaven moves. “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). But if you have had clear instruction and you have not moved, that is not waiting. That is disobedience looking like patience. If He told you to go, then go. If He told you to write, then write. If He told you to forgive, well, it’s time to forgive, forgive. The intimate relationship you carry with Him is what determines what happens next, not in your own reasoning, not in the opinions around you, and definitely not in the fear of being wrong.

His ideas stand the test of time. Yours have an expiration date. It’s our job to stay close enough to know the difference.

Remain in Him, not in your plan, nor in your fear and not in the comfortable nothing the enemy keeps offering you.

In Him.

If you’ve never surrendered to Jesus or have strayed, it’s not too late. He’s waiting to restore and renew you. Return to Him today and say this out loud:

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.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
