I love how God’s word is living and active. As we meditate on His word, it plants truth deep into the soil of our hearts. I had to fast and drink a concoction for my colonoscopy without sedation. I had made it to Psalm 119:116-117 in my meditating through the Psalm. 

The attending doctor worked hard to convince me to do sedation. It’s not an option with my brain injuries. I clung to the Lord through the procedure with the two verses I had meditated on the day before. They were my breath that sustained me. He totally upheld me, verse 116, so that I was not ashamed of my hope. He literally held me up and kept me safe. Verse 117.

The Lord is Present in all of our trials. However, when we cling to Him through His word, it is like yeast in bread dough. His living, active, and sustaining truth permeates every particle of our being.
