In a world drowning in useless information—from social media feeds to endless advertisements—we're challenged to consume something with actual substance. Like eating sugary cereal that leaves us hungry twenty minutes later, most of what we absorb daily provides no real nourishment for our souls. This message invites us into a radical commitment: reading the entire Bible in one year, not as a religious exercise, but as a lifeline. Through Psalm 138, we discover that resilience—that remarkable ability to spring back into shape after life tries to crush us—is fueled by faith. And faith grows through immersing ourselves in God's Word, where we repeatedly encounter His faithfulness across time. David reminds us that God took care of our past (choosing the lowly shepherd boy to be king), God is present in our current troubles (preserving our lives even in the valley), and God will complete His purpose for our future. We're not called to become emotionally numb or apathetic—Jesus Himself wept at Lazarus's tomb—but to be deeply feeling people anchored in an unchanging God. The application is beautifully simple: control what we can control. We may not be able to fix the world's problems, but we can open this Book daily and let it fill us with truth that transforms us from the inside out.
