June 28 – The Lord Stood With Me

In today’s episode, Pastor Brandon Dirmann shares a devotion from 2 Timothy 4:17, where Paul declares, “But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me.” Writing near the end of his life, Paul reflects on a season when others had abandoned him, yet he found strength in the unwavering presence of God. This message reminds listeners that even when surrounded by loving friends, family, and fellow believers, there are struggles, fears, and burdens that can feel deeply personal and isolating. While others can support us, encourage us, and pray for us, there are moments in life that must ultimately be faced between us and the Lord. Pastor Brandon encourages listeners to remember that God is never absent in those moments. He is the One who fully understands every emotion, every question, and every challenge we carry. When we feel alone, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward, we can take comfort in knowing that the Lord stands with us and strengthens us. His presence is sufficient, His grace is enough, and He remains faithful through every trial we face.Today’s Reading:June 28 – Amos 1–3; Psalm 80; 2 Timothy 4
