Do you sometimes feel invisible, forgotten, or just another face in the crowd in our increasingly anonymous digital world?

#BattleDrillDaily #YouMatter #KnownByGod #Faith

Today's Battle Drill Daily Devotional reveals something that might change everything about how you see yourself. Through The Salvation Army's powerful #150reasons campaign that collected transformation stories from Australia to Bangladesh, we discover a profound truth: the Creator of the universe knows each of us personally and intimately.

Exploring Isaiah 45:3, we examine what it means to be called by name by God himself. As a Salvation Army church leader, I've learned that calling someone by their name is deeply personal - it says "I see you, I value you, you matter to me." That's precisely what God does with each of us, but here's what makes this extraordinary: there's a fundamental difference between knowing someone's name and calling them by name with intention and affection.

This episode challenges the world's constant evaluation of our worth based on performance and achievements, revealing how God's knowledge of our names provides an unshakeable foundation for identity. Even Cyrus, a pagan king, was called by name for divine purposes - how much more intimately does God know those who belong to him?

Scripture: "I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3 NLT).

Call to Action: Say your name out loud right now, then declare "I am known by God" - let this transformational truth change how you walk through your day.

Have you ever felt like life has spiralled completely out of control, leaving you wondering if anyone - including God - actually has control over what's happening in your world?

#BattleDrillDaily #HiddenRiches #DivineControl #Faith

In today's Battle Drill Daily Devotional, I'll be honest - I've been there too, and I want to share something that might transform how you view those messy, chaotic seasons. Through Christian Aid's crisis response work and biblical truth, we discover that God's sovereignty encompasses every aspect of our human experience - not just the good bits, but also the valleys of despair and moments of confusion.

Drawing from Isaiah 45:7, we explore how God doesn't disappear during difficulties or limit his authority to comfortable circumstances. When I first read this verse, it made me uncomfortable - after all, we'd prefer a God who only sends good times, wouldn't we? But Isaiah reveals something far deeper about divine sovereignty that can anchor us in life's storms.

This episode examines how some of the deepest spiritual growth occurs during seasons when we can't see clearly, when we must depend entirely on God's character rather than our own understanding. Through Cyrus's unlikely story and practical insights, discover why your current darkness might be the precise context God has chosen for his most significant work in your life.

Scripture: "I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord, am the one who does these things" (Isaiah 45:7 NLT).

Call to Action: Take one step forward today, trusting that God is actively working through your situation, even when you cannot sense his activity.
