When God is Near

Years ago, at my brother’s house, a reckless driver came roaring down the street. With children in our neighborhood, I shouted for him to slow down. He heard me, spun his car around, and headed back my way. I stepped out to the street, ready for any conversation. A moment later, my 300‑pound, weight‑lifting brother joined me. The driver reached us… then kept right on going. I turned to my brother and said, “The coward wouldn’t even stop.” My brother looked at me and replied, “Would you have stopped if you saw the two of us standing here?”

That moment reminds me of today’s verse: Hebrews 13:5–6.
God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

With God by your side, do what’s right and refuse to fear. You are not alone. As He promises, “Never will I leave you.”

I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.

Suggested Prayer: Lord, remind me today that You walk with me into every hard place.
