Day 7

Romans 15:4 (ESV)

[4] For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Scripture as Spiritual Nourishment

Just as food sustains our physical bodies, Scripture nourishes our souls. Romans 15:4 tells us the biblical writings were given "for our instruction"—to foster endurance, encouragement, and hope. Neglecting the Word leaves us spiritually undernourished, vulnerable to discouragement and despair. Even Jesus endured temptation by relying on the truth of Scripture, testifying to both its power and necessity. God’s Word revives the weary, corrects the wayward, and fills us with lasting hope.

Key Takeaway

Consistent intake of God’s Word is essential for spiritual health and resilience.
