“For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.“
— Psalm 37:28 KJV
Reflection on Today's Verse
God isn’t watching from a distance—He’s deeply invested. He sees injustice, feels every unfair blow, and still chooses to stand by those who stay faithful. Not the perfect ones. Not the impressive ones. The faithful ones. The ones who keep showing up, even when life keeps knocking them down.
His justice isn’t cold or delayed. It’s patient. He’s not in a hurry to prove a point. He’s in it for redemption. While the world flips its loyalty every five minutes, God doesn’t budge. He holds onto His people like a lighthouse in a storm—unshaken, lit, waiting.
So if you’re feeling forgotten, left behind, or invisible to heaven—don’t trust your feelings. Trust the One who says He will not forsake you. Because He won’t.
Personal Prayer
Lord, You see what’s fair. You see what’s not. And You still choose to stand by me when I feel like giving up. Thank You for loving justice—not just in the world, but in my messy, everyday life.
I’m not always strong. I get tired. I question. I stumble. But You never walk away. You promise You won’t forsake the faithful—even when we’re barely holding on.
Help me stay faithful, even when it’s hard. Remind me that You’re near when life feels unfair. Anchor me in Your love, not my emotions. I trust You to make things right, in Your time, in Your way. And while I wait, I’ll keep walking with You.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived.
