Today’s Bible Verse:
“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” — Philippians 4:5

Paul’s encouragement here is wonderfully practical: let your life make gentleness visible. Not weakness, not passivity — but a steady, Christ-shaped calm that shows people what God’s nearness looks like in everyday moments. When pressures rise or frustrations flare, this verse pulls us back to center. We don’t have to force outcomes or defend ourselves at every turn. The Lord is close, and His presence empowers us to respond with grace that stands out in a loud, reactive world.
