Hello friend.
I’ve been thinking about the people nobody wrote down.
You know the feeling. You do the school run, answer the emails, sit with someone who is struggling, keep a promise nobody saw you make. And at the end of the day you wonder if any of it counted.
Here’s what struck me this week. The story of Moses does not begin with Moses. It begins with two midwives who quietly refused an order. Then a mother who did everything she could and trusted God with the rest. Then a sister who stayed near the river. Then a princess who saw a baby instead of a problem.
Not one of them lived to see what their choices set in motion. They just did the next right thing.
That is worth sitting with, especially if you feel small at the moment. Most of what shapes a life is not dramatic. It’s the quiet no. The staying. The one kind sentence offered to someone who did not deserve it.
So here’s my thought for you this week: don’t measure your life by who noticed. Measure it by whether you were faithful in the small thing in front of you today.
I’ve made a seven-part series on this - seven women, seven ordinary acts of courage, five minutes each. Rahab, Ruth, a servant girl who said one sentence, and more.
