“Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.” Romans 15:4 God’s Word was written to give us hope and encourage us. If you are feeling down, tired, discouraged, depressed, etc., instead of reaching for chocolate or a drink, or whatever your vice is, reach for God’s Word and be blessed.
