Many times I’ve picked up the Bible and put it down disappointed. I would need encouragement from God’s Word, but all I felt was discouraged. In these moments, I wasn’t trusting in His Word. I wasn’t “taking it in” and it wasn’t changing me.

Oh, there are many reasons for my lack of faith! I won’t get into them. I only mention it, because YOU have reasons TOO, disappointments, lose, heartaches that could make you easily doubt God’s Word.

Then God turned up the trials in my life and at the same time became very, very quiet. I was overwhelmed with pain and He was silent! There was only one place than I could go.

When I was forced to humble myself before His Word, a miracle started happening! I started believing it, and it started changing me, really changing me! In the midst of tremendous pain and problems, I started feeling hope! Lies were becoming undone! Fear was melting off me! And, I could see clearer!

If Jesus is the Word of God, then taking in the Word is taking in Jesus and all that comes with Him! I can be filled with hope and peace because God gave me His Son through His Word! What a Gift!
