| “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” |
| —Hebrews 4:12 |
Does God’s written Word, the Bible, have any power? Indeed it does! When people read God’s written Word, the Holy Spirit can so empower the text that by those individuals reading, accepting, and following its teachings, their lives can turn to God and receive new life through the Lord Jesus Christ.
For those who already belong to Jesus, the Bible can give comfort, strength, and direction. Please notice what the writer of Hebrews declares in Hebrews 4:12:
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Let’s make certain we take a few moments this day—through reading, studying, and meditating—to immerse ourselves in God’s written Word. As we do, let’s invite the Holy Spirit to make God’s truth come alive in our hearts and minds.
