June 2, 2025 – Unseen, Yet Fully Known

I want to get things done.I want my ministry to grow.I want to participate in lives changed.I want to witness transformation.I want to be part of it.Me. Me. Me.

We finished Kings in our Daily Bible Study a few weeks ago, and I still can’t shake how selfless God expected—and still expects—His people to be.

• David risked everything and defeated Goliath. Then the Israelite army, who had been hiding, shared in the victory.

• Jonathan bravely attacked a Philistine outpost. Saul joined the battle after the tide turned—and claimed the credit.

• Samuel judged Israel faithfully for decades, but the people demanded a king.

• David longed to build the Temple, made preparations, gathered materials—yet Solomon got to build it.

• Abner worked to unite the tribes under David but was murdered before seeing it through. David inherited the throne.

• Elijah confronted hundreds of false prophets and turned hearts back to God—yet Elisha, his student, received the double portion and did even greater miracles.

God expects us to obediently walk a path He designs.We rarely know where we’re going.We almost never know how it will end.And even when we arrive, the outcome may not be ours to claim.What we start may be finished—or celebrated—by someone else.

But what if I want it to be me? —my flesh asks.If you need it to be you, then it can’t be Me. —the Spirit replies.

It’s a daily choice.

And it is deeply humbling—how powerfully unimportant I am in the grand scheme,and yet how wildly loved I feel by the One who holds it all.

It is about me.But it’s about the Him in me.
