Our Living Word!
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even
to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the
heart."
Hebrews 4: 12
Perhaps you have purchased a self-help book
but haven’t opened it because you don’t want
to receive what it will say.
Some
people can be hesitant when it comes to
reading the Bible or praying to God for direction
for the same reason. We’re not ready for the
answer we might get.
The Bible is not like any other book. It is not just a
collection of words and pages, like a
self-help book,
but is a book that is “living and powerful.” When we
open the Bible, the
Holy Spirit uses those words of
Scripture to reveal things to and about us that will
change our life.
It reveals “thoughts and intents of our heart.”
The question is, are we ready to see and know
what the
Spirit may show us about our life?
When you open the Bible, pray: “Lord, open
the eyes of my heart
that I see and receive
what Your Word will reveal to me.”
"The written Word of God
has the seal of the living
Word of God."
John H. Gerstner
