| Yesterday's Bible Study |
In this morning's Psalm, we get a powerful reflection on the Word of God. The psalmist writes that when his soul is heavy, he knows the Lord's Word will strengthen him. Let's think about what this verse means and how it applies to our lives today.
Have you ever felt like your soul was heavy? Most people do at certain times of their lives, such as when they are suffering from grief or feeling weary and stressed from too many obligations. As Christians, we have a tool to help us strengthen our own souls during those difficult times. That tool is God's Word … and it can help us get through anything that life throws our way.
The Bible is our source of strength every day, including when we're feeling desperate. It is called the living Word for a reason--it serves as a guide for how we live each day. This is one of the reasons why it is so essential for us to remain in the Word. Otherwise, we'll miss out on all the benefits it gives us!

The Word has the power to strengthen us because it points us to the Lord. When we think about who the Lord is, we are automatically strengthened. He is faithful, trustworthy, all-powerful, full of grace, kind, and filled with love for His children. Being in the Word reminds us that we do not have to live life by ourselves or even in our own strength. Rather, we can live resting in God's grace, filled with the strength and joy that He offers us.
If you find your soul heavy on a regular basis, think about how much time you spend in the Word. Ask yourself if you might go deeper in the Bible and develop a greater understanding of it. Develop a habit of turning to Jesus again and again, over and over, until your first response to weariness is to go before Him and ask Him to help you. He will answer you and He will give you strength.
