Reflection: The believer’s anchor in hardship is focusing on God’s character and remembering His promises. Knowing His character and promises inform our prayers and encourage our love and faithfulness to Him. That knowledge comes from studying and meditating on the Word of God. Tangible, temporary pleasures may cause us to drift. Comfort and convenience may cause us to forget. Troubles and trials may cause us to stray. The Word of God, however, remains true, unchanging, and totally reliable. Because the Bible is the very holiness of God, when we stray from it, there will be consequences. Even in those negative experiences, we can rejoice that we recognize the power, the privilege, and the responsibility of living out God’s Word.
Father God, I thank You for this tangible Book of hope that I can turn to day or night. Help me to keep Your Word close to my heart. Magnify the verses of Your Word louder and higher than those things and those people that compete for my attention. When I stumble and stray, allow those incidents to be few and far between. But when they happen, Lord, make my repentance and my return to You swift and sincere, bringing us even closer than we were before. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

But when we look to God himself – we see how his character is reflected in this chapter as well. This Bible study gives us a glimpse into the beauty, importance, and usefulness of Scripture, prompting us to walk away more in love with God and his Word, more aware of our sin, and more in awe of our great Savior and his sacrifice on our behalf.
