Day: May 20, 2025

Our question for today comes from John 18:38.

On the most eventful day on earth, Pilate is questioning Jesus before condemning him to the cross. Jesus told Pilate, “I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth.” To this Pilate asked the deep question:

“What is truth?”

It was the right question, but Pilate didn’t wait for the answer. Truth was standing in front of him, robed in humility, but Pilate would not see it. Pilate was the personification of the saying, “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

Though Pilate would not see Him, Jesus is the truth—not just a concept, but truth in person. Truth is a steady hand in a spinning world. In a culture drowning in opinions, truth is not a moving target. Truth is a living Savior.

Don’t let a skeptical heart blind you to a Savior who’s right in front of you. Don’t ask the big questions only to walk off before the answer comes. Stay. Listen. Truth doesn’t shout in debates—it whispers through the life of Christ. He’s not just an idea to discuss—He’s the answer every honest heart is searching for.

Our question for today comes from Exodus 4:1:

“What if they do not believe me or listen to me?”

In today’s question, we see that even the great Moses wrestled with insecurity. God told him to go to Pharaoh and confront him, but Moses was human—and humans doubt. Even he questioned his own ability.

One fellow once said, “I’m not insecure; I just care a lot about what people who don’t know me think.” That sounds like Moses. He had a case of the “what if they won’t listen.” Eventually, he even asked God to send someone else.

Insecurity is loud. Sometimes, even louder than God’s voice. Moses wanted proof before he obeyed. He wanted assurance before he moved. So God gave him signs—but more than that, He gave Moses His presence. And that’s what we need most, isn’t it? Not just a miracle, but the God of miracles walking with us.

When we ask, “What if they don’t believe me?” God responds, “I’ll be with you.” Let your confidence rest, not in applause or approval, but in the quiet certainty that God stands beside you.
