The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Plain English
"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee." Doth means does, thee means you, and them means the people they feared. "He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee" means He will not drop you or abandon you.
Devotional
A hard talk with a family member can make you want to hide in the hallway. You fear the look on their face, or the chance you will be left alone after the truth is spoken. God told His people not to be afraid of others, because He goes with them and will not forsake them.
