It is amazing what power the written word can have. For soldiers during wartime, letters of encouragement can often mean the difference between going on to fight another day and succumbing to despair. Thanks to modern technology, soldiers no longer have to wait weeks or months to hear from loved ones. They can now speak by telephone, through email, or even through face-to-face video link.
Just as those words from a loved one can give hope to a soldier, the Word of God gives hope to us: "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope" (v. 4).
