My Word!

“For the word of God is living 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

The Word of God, the Bible, is the only truly “living” book.  It is a timeless book, having stood the test of the ages.  It has been proven true by historical documentation, but more importantly, by the lives that have been radically changed by it.

Satan, the enemy of your soul, knows that this Book leads to life and victory in Jesus Christ; thus, he does everything he can to keep people from reading the Word of God and following it.  That is why our culture is in such danger of falling away from truth.  We have removed the Bible from schools, social settings and the workplace.  We have to return to the absolute truth of the Word of God for matters of faith and practice.

The Bible is not only living- but active, sharp and powerful.  Declaring the Word of God over situations in your life can cause the situations to actually change.  The Bible renews our hearts and minds. It guides us in the path we should walk in.  It cries warnings to us when we are engaging in activities that are damaging to our soul. 

Perhaps like me, you often find your life too busy to spend a lot of time in the Word of God.  This is a lie propagated by the enemy and we cannot afford to let the Bible lose first place in our lives.  We must read the Word, study the Word, and meditate upon the Word.  As we do, we will see a change not only in our hearts and behaviors, but in our circumstances as well.

Dear Lord, thank you for loving me enough to leave your Word for me to follow.  Forgive me for treating the privilege lightly.  Help me to be a person of the Word.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
