July 31: God Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You


“For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”
— Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s presence is constant and unbreakable.
  2. He remains faithful even when we falter.
  3. Forsaking is impossible for God’s character.
  4. His nearness is the ultimate security.
  5. We can walk every day with courage because He is with us.

Poem: Never Alone

The roads stretch lonely across dry hills.
The echoes fade from empty stones.
But your voice stays warm against the cold.
Your step sounds near beside my sigh.
Your hand remains against my heart.

The nights claw deep with silent teeth.
The dreams stumble on restless fields.
But your breath hums against the fear.
Your whisper stitches songs to sleep.
Your love stays awake beside my bed.

The rains may forget to fall at noon.
The fields may wither under open skies.
But your promise roots deep in cracked earth.
Your mercy drinks the stubborn dust.
Your joy grows songs beneath dry seeds.

The friends may fail the broken gates.
The crowds may flee the crumbling halls.
But your arms rebuild the empty frames.
Your breath repaints the battered walls.
Your presence hums through silent rooms.

Today I walk into your endless promise.
Today I breathe your unbreaking word.
You are the heart that beats in the lonely.
You are the voice that hums through fear.
You are the God who never leaves.
