Today’s Verse — Isaiah 52:12
“The Lord will go before you; the God of Israel will be your rear guard.”
This is a promise wrapped in motion and mercy.
It tells us that today is not an uncharted path—
God steps ahead of you, softening the ground,
clearing unseen obstacles, speaking your name
into places you have not yet reached.
And then, in tender grace, He stands behind you.
Not to remind you of yesterday’s failures,
but to protect you from what tries to follow—
the weight of regret, the echo of disappointment,
the fear that whispers you are alone.
You are held on both sides of time.
Your future is guarded by His wisdom.
Your past is covered by His faithfulness.
So move through this day unhurried.
You do not need to rush, strive, or defend yourself.
He is your beginning and your covering.
Your going out is blessed.
Your coming in is secured.
Let your heart rest.
God surrounds your journey
front and back and every step in between.
