b'This morning as I was reaching for my Bible, I was soul-weary from a week\\nof grief and tears. I needed to be saturated in the truth. Then, a picture\\npopped into my mind so instantly and clearly, I felt sure it was from God.\\nThe picture was of an IV line threading from my Bible into my arm. Doctors\\nuse an IV line (or intravenous line) to give a patient fluids or medicine.\\nThe small tube feeds straight into a vein. When our bodies are sick or\\ndehydrated, an IV can give us the help we need. Similarly, when our souls\\nare weary and the world feels like it\\u2019s crumbling around us, we can cling\\nto the encouragement that comes from God\\u2019s life-giving words. When\\nJesus\\u2014the very Son of God\\u2014came to live among us, He embodied the truth of\\nthe Word. After Jesus had fasted for forty days and nights in the\\nwilderness, He was weary. When the devil came to tempt Him, Jesus used\\nScripture to combat every attack (Matthew 4:1-11). Later, in Matthew 24,\\nJesus said that although heaven and earth will pass away, His words never\\nwill (verse 35). Jesus explained that the Temple, the place where God\\u2019s\\npresence dwelled among His people, would be destroyed, but His words would\\nendure. God has come to dwell with His people, no longer through a building\\nbut through flesh\\u2014Jesus Christ. He went to the cross and rose from the dead\\nso we could be with God forever. And Jesus will return to reign over the\\nnew heavens and new earth\\u2014and God will dwell with us in a whole new way. If\\nwe\\u2019ve put our trust in Jesus, we have unfading hope. We can rest in the\\nknowledge that the enduring Word of God will not return void but will\\naccomplish everything God intends (Isaiah 55:11). By reading the living and\\nactive Word of God, we have access to the truth our souls so desperately\\nneed. We can ask God for His mercy to help us in times of wondering and\\nweakness. He will equip us with everything we need for life. Watch God\\u2019s\\ntransformative power as His truth flows through your veins. \\u2022 Savannah\\nColeman \\u2022 Do you have a favorite Bible verse, passage, or story?
