Doubting God in the Darkનમૂનો

Sometimes the greatest impact you’ll ever have is not in what you accomplish but in who you point to Jesus. John’s entire ministry was devoted to preparing the way for Christ. Even though his role was short, we see that what happened as a result of his ministry continues to echo thousands of years later. In our culture, it’s easy to believe that visibility equals value and that the ones in the spotlight are the most significant. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In God’s kingdom, the unseen parts are extremely important and valuable.

A good image for this is the body that God designed. God made it so each part of the body, some of the most important ones for survival, is never seen (the heart or lungs). Without them, life itself is not possible. In the same way, never place your value in God's kingdom contingent on your visibility (1 Corinthians 12:18–22). You may never stand on a stage or be recognized by crowds, but your prayers, your service, and your quiet acts of obedience can have a powerful impact in the spiritual realm (Matthew 6:4).

Remember that heaven measures success differently than the world does. It’s not about being recognized, it’s about being found faithful. This is because the kingdom of God at large advances through everyday faithful people who play their role. This can look like the parent who raises their children to love Jesus, the believer who prays for others, or the doctor who meets needs without attention. It's the heart posture that the Lord measures and that truly matters at the end of the day (Colossians 3:23–24).

Your value is not determined by applause or visibility, but by the God who called you and sees you.

Today's Challenge: Find a way to serve someone today without drawing attention to yourself.

Let's Pray: Jesus, help me be faithful where You’ve placed me, whether anyone sees it or not. Let my life be a reflection of Your love, and let my unseen obedience bring glory to Your name.
