Evening brings a quiet clarity, a chance to reflect on the foundations we lean on. Too often, we prop ourselves up with things of this world—money, status, pride—hoping they’ll carry us through. But let’s face it, they’re fragile; they crumble under pressure, leaving us stranded, like leaning against a rickety fence in a storm.

But when we rely on God, we’re leaning on a force beyond this world, a power that creates mountains and whispers peace into chaos. God doesn’t promise it’ll always be easy, but what He offers is deeper than mere ease—it’s a strength, a peace, a purpose that only He can produce. It’s like leaning into the wind with full confidence, knowing you won’t fall.

As we close the day, let’s ask ourselves—are we leaning on temporary things that shake and break, or on the One who never fails?
