All of these give us a deeper understanding of the original intention of the text, how the whole Bible works together for the same story, and teaches us how to apply the word. Memorizing is critical for believers so that we can recall scripture at times when we really need it and it is not right in front of us. All of these messages should lead us toward application, where we take what we have learned from the Bible and apply it into our daily lives.

My prayer these days is that I would be satisfied and delighted by the Word of God as much as I am satisfied and delighted with physical food. I want to crave and enjoy my time studying scripture as much as I am craving and enjoying food, thanks to this pregnancy.

This is my prayer for myself and anyone who might be reading this, that you also would find true, deep satisfaction in His word. I have been thoroughly overcome by the sweet response from friends to our update. The Lord is so sweet to reveal Himself to me through His followers, who are my community and support. I wish it were that simple. In a way that many people cannot understand, pregnancy loss marks you.

It changes the way you view subsequent pregnancies, and it threatens to steal your joy. God keeps showing me that He is the giver of all joy and peace; so the opposite must also be true, that Satan is the one that instills fear and worry. Satan is a thief, and he wants to steal all the joy and peace that God has given to each of us who are in Christ.

I have to remind myself when the fear creeps up, or my mind is troubled by worries, that these do NOT come from my Father. It is no benefit to me to consider all that could go wrong. It does me no good to live in fear of the unknown. So, every day, I must choose joy and peace over those things that do not come from God. And this is something I must continually remind myself. Our God gives good gifts, friends. I hope is full of the overflow of His blessings to you all. For those of you that might be new here, welcome. Thank you for entering into our story.

For those who have journeyed along with us — thank you. God has continually given us little assurances to remind us that He is in control, He cares, and He sustains. So we are trusting that as He is willing, we will meet our little one in July. God has always been faithful to us.

He has never let us down. He is the giver of good gifts, and He knows what we need. Through the pain of loss, I learned that my Father is sincerely all I need and more than enough.

Through seasons of waiting, I learned how to hope — even when it hurts, and it seems easier to give up hope. We are humbled, overwhelmed, and so joyful.

We have hope, and we know that this is in His hands. Thanks for sharing that joy with us. Thank you for your prayers through the last two years and for the continued prayers for the next several months. For those still waiting — oh, how my heart is with you.

For me, this is what thirty looks like! By Margaret Huisman Ruthven To those who gave birth this year to their first child—we celebrate with you To those who lost a child this year — we mourn with you To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food stains — we appreciate you To those who experienced loss through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or running away—we mourn with you To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and disappointment — we walk with you.

In order to do this, we must daily consume the word. The Word of God is enough to sustain us. It does not need to be added to or supplemented; it is all we need for growth. Thus, we know that study tools such as commentaries, devotionals, bible studies, et cetera are certainly beneficial for us, but they are not necessary for growth.

God truly uses His Spirit to reveal the depths of scriptural truths to us as we need them. We can trust that He will show us what we need in His word. True satisfaction comes from the word of God. We cannot find anything in this world to fill and sustain us the way that the word is meant to. We may seek out wordly pleasures to entertain us, numb us, or delight us, but we cannot be truly satisfied by anything except God and His word.

He created us to worship, but we only walk in the purpose He created us for when we worship Him. And God is glorified when we are fully satisfied in Him.

We have the Bible as the word of God, and all of it points to Christ as the living, breathing picture of His word. We can always look to Jesus to see who God is. Hearing the word Reading the word Studying the word Memorizing the word Meditating on the word We can engage different senses by hearing the word through preaching, podcasts, or listening to the Bible being read, and using our own eyes to read the words ourselves.

So these thirty biblical reflections are full of realism about the hurts of life—yet overwhelmingly full of hope about the God who gives life. This book is about the God who offers hope, even joy, in suffering.

We want to hear from those who have walked, and perhaps continue to walk, in dark valleys, yet have found Christ to be a light to them, the Spirit a comfort to them, the Father taking care of them. I had not finished reading the introduction to this book before I was making a mental list of friends that I knew would find it a balm to their weary hearts.
