Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.

Proverbs 16:20

God promises that we will discover good when we give thought to His Word. But how do we do this in our everyday lives so that we can grow in our trust in the Lord?

A dedicated time for Bible study and prayer each day is a good start. Yet, for years, I’ve discovered more goodness by meditating on a single verse throughout the day. I write a verse in my planner and frequently look at it. The more I think about the verse and its application, the more goodness I discover, and the more I trust in God.

Try carefully pondering a verse of God’s Word this week. Pray it, write it, and sing it to help you remember it. You’ll discover good as you do so.

Lord, thank You for the goodness of Your Word that helps me trust You. Amen.

Reflect: For more insight into your verse, look it up in a study Bible.
