Strength for the Day

Scripture
"He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken." (Psalm 62:2)

Reflections
Life rarely gives us smooth ground to walk on. Challenges at work, pressure to provide, the weight of responsibility, and the unseen battles in our minds can make it feel like the ground beneath us is crumbling. Yet God gives us this promise: He alone is our rock. Not our own strength, not our plans, not our bank accounts, but Christ Himself.

The image of a fortress is intentional. A fortress is built to withstand attacks, storms, and pressure. That is who God is for us. Standing firm on Him does not mean life will be free of hardship; it means that when hardship comes, we will not be destroyed. As men, husbands, fathers, and brothers, we are called to lead with stability, but we can only offer that stability when we are rooted in the One who cannot be moved.

Action Step
Pause today and think about one area where you feel shaken, whether it is stress at work, fear about the future, or struggles at home. Write it down and pray over it, handing it back to God. As you face the day, remind yourself that your feet are planted on solid ground, no matter what shakes around you.

Closing Prayer
Lord, You are my rock and my salvation. When I am tempted to lean on my own strength, remind me that You are my fortress. Plant my feet on Your truth so I can stand firm. Make me steady, not just for myself, but so I can be a source of strength for my family, my brothers, and all those You have placed in my care. Keep me unshaken, rooted in You. Amen.
