The word of God is not abstract, but is a personal communication from God to His people. And He gives words to us individually as well. His word gives us hope.
When things are difficult the promises of God bring us comfort, and His word preserves our life. The word brings understanding, and it strengthens our souls. It tells us what the final outcome will be. So we have strength to endure all circumstances. And it guides us in how to react and respond in situations.
We will still be attacked, will still be mocked, even unmercifully. There will be times when the world in general, and individuals in particular, mock us unmercifully. In such times we need to keep hold of the word of God, both as a source of comfort and as a guide for our lives.
We delight and meditate upon the word of the Lord. These are to be the theme of the song of our soul.
