Power of His Words
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. Hebrews 4:12
Bam! Smack! POW! This is the experience you should have when reading God’s Word. This we know because scripture tells us, “The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The word of God is not a dead word or an ineffective word. It has life in it. And because it has life in it, it produces effects.
Perhaps God loves his word. He honors his word with his presence and power. Sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow. And it is given to us to stop the enemy from hurting us in any way. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to hold it and use it to defeat everything that comes against you. Everything that makes you feel afraid, low, defeated or distressed. Why not ask him today to show you?
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your powerful Word. Please help me to be real with You in my prayers, and please send Your Holy Spirit to help me as I read and apply Your Word. I would like to learn from You every day. Thank You so much. Amen.
