The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

Nahum 1:7King James Version

Plain English

"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him." A strong hold is a strong safe place, and knoweth means knows. This line sits in a book that also speaks honestly about God's judgment. Right there it says the Lord is good, a shelter in the day of trouble, and He knows the people who trust Him.

Devotional

When weather turns violent, you want walls that have already stood through other storms, because a pretty sign on the door is not enough. The Lord is good, and He is a stronghold when trouble comes. He is not a stranger to the people who trust Him, and He knows them.
