DAILY REFLECTION

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”Habakkuk 2:14

History is being carried by the mighty hands of God toward a future where His glory will be universally recognized, and His truth will permeate every corner of the earth.

Bobby Gruenewald, Pastor and Innovation Leader at Life Church in Oklahoma, is also the founder of the YouVersion Bible App — a vessel God has used to place Scripture into the hands and hearts of more than one billion people worldwide.

What began as a simple idea in the mind of a young innovator became, through the power of God’s hands, one of the greatest Bible-distribution movements in history. Bobby did not set out to build a tech empire; he simply longed to help people engage with God’s Word. Yet the Lord took that small seed of obedience, held it in His hands, and multiplied it beyond imagination. Through smartphones, tablets, and digital platforms, the Bible now travels faster, farther, and more freely than ever before — penetrating nations, languages, and generations by the strength of God’s hand at work.

Bobby’s journey reminds us that God delights in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things when they are willing to listen, obey, and innovate for the sake of the Gospel. His story challenges us to dream bigger and trust deeper, knowing that when our lives rest in God’s hands, no vision is too small and no act of obedience too insignificant. It invites us to ask: What small act of obedience might God take in His hands and use in my life to bring His Word “as the waters cover the sea”?

Habakkuk 2:14 declares that God’s mission is unstoppable, His Word is transformative, and His kingdom will ultimately prevail. It inspires believers to participate joyfully in spreading His truth until the whole earth reflects His glory — a glory carried and revealed by the amazing power of God’s hands.

"With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
