Knowing Him Daily

04.May.2026

Imagine someone extraordinarily wealthy walked up to you and handed you a million dollars. No strings attached, no repayment required. Just a gift. But with it came one instruction, you cannot spend it on yourself. You can give as much or as little to as many people as you want, in any way and in any capacity. The only condition is that it flows through you, not to you.

You would probably ask why.

And the answer would be simple. Because I gave it to you to use. Not to keep.

This is exactly what Jesus did when He died on the cross. He did not die so that we could do with it whatever we wanted. He died with instructions. The gift is extravagant, completely real, and freely given, but it was never meant to stay with you. It was given to be distributed. And the moment you treat what He gave you as personal spending money, you have missed the entire point of why it was placed in your hands.

This is not just a spiritual principle. It is a practical one. The money He provides for you is not just for you. He promises to meet all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 That is His part and He is faithful to it. But His Word also gives very clear instructions about what to do with what flows through your hands. Who to take care of. Which groups to look after. How to handle what He entrusts to you.

The church. The poor. The widow. The orphan. The stranger. These are not suggestions buried in the Old Testament. They are consistent, repeated, unmistakable instructions from a God who sees every person who is overlooked and expects His people to see them too.

You are not the destination. You are the pipeline.

And a pipeline that stops flowing stops being useful. What He puts in your hands was always meant to keep moving. The blessing was never the endpoint. It was always the starting point of someone else’s miracle.

Tomorrow we are going to talk about what happens to your prayers when you close your hands and your ears to the ones He told you to care for. It is not comfortable. But it is important.

And it starts with understanding that none of this was ever really yours to begin with.

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.
