When I was child, our family moved a lot. That was so hard for me. I was bashful, so very bashful, and walking into a new classroom full of new faces was excruciating. I didn’t have a lot of friends—it’s hard to make friends when you’re shy, and why bother if you’re only going to move away and leave them at the end of the year? Consequently, I spent a lot of time alone. And yet, I wasn’t alone. When I was 8 years old I knelt in my Sunday school classroom and asked Jesus to forgive my sins and be my Savior. He gave the little girl with quivering knees the courage to enter the strange classroom. He comforted me when I sat alone on the playground. I am so grateful to have met Him when I was still a little girl, because I learned early on that I could depend on Him.

Do you see the capitalization in the word “LORD”? Those capital letters mean the title is for Yahweh, the Covenant God of Israel, the God who promised to be with His children. He keeps His promises. He was there for me; He’s here for me now; and He will be with me for all of my tomorrows. He’s here for you, too. You can depend on Him.
