Sermon: 6/14/26- Friday's Devotional

I Am With You Always
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 and Psalm 23

Jesus's final promise to His disciples wasn't that life would be easy. It was that He would be present. "I am with you always." This is the foundation of Christian hope—not that circumstances will always resolve as we wish, but that we never face them alone. The 23rd Psalm doesn't say we won't walk through dark valleys; it says we won't walk through them alone. The Shepherd is with us. His presence is what transforms fear into confidence. Today, whatever valley you're walking through, declare this truth: "You are with me." Not "You were" or "You will be," but "You ARE." Present tense. Right now. In this moment. That's where hope lives.
