Hebrew 4:12
For 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.
I love this verse it so true the Word of God is quick (quick in the Bible is living ,alive) is it so alive! I don’t know anything else I have ever heard or read in my life that speaks to me the way the Words of the Gospel does. The Word of God is really exactly that sharper than any two-edge sword it pierces your heart and mind. It attaches itself to the very depths of your soul. You start to wear the Word of God and it becomes you. Trust me perfect or not and you wont be it’s ok but the Word of God is so powerful you start to become what it says- made new in Christ and the Cross. You start to change the way you think you love, you have rest and peace even during the storms of life- the peace and rest I’m talking about here is the kind that you have when it makes no sense how your so calm with the situations that may come where most would be in panic and worry but here you will be with such a peace and be able to rest because of the power of God’s Word. You will have great faith in Christ and the Cross you will know it deep in your heart (it will be active and alive in your heart) you will trust in Him completely to deliver you. With you trusting more in Him and His word the things you do, will start changing your bad habits sins will be no more you begin to feel and look healthy and have joy(a lasting deeper good feeling). The Word of God brings out the best version of yourself-you are made new in Christ and the Cross (which is what the Word of God is all about). You find your true identity in The Word because it can pierce so deep into you that it can sift through your thoughts and the intentions of your heart. It’s more than just words out of a book or through a song or sermon of the Word of God…it’s life changing for the good!
Think about it when your listening to words from the world (other than about the Gospel)rather it be in a song, a show, a book your hear it could be example movie about action drama or comedy and a song could be about the summer and fun and maybe a romance novel from a book etc these and other things we hear in whatever way of the world are for pleasure something for the moment. Can you really walk away watching or hearing things like this and say it gave you peace, rest, joy, and your life changes for the good day by day? Another example say you want to be a cook and your watching cooking shows to better your skill but will you be fulfilled in your heart and mind and have peace in the way that Jesus can give? You may have a good career and money but will you have the peace and rest(that can’t be worked for that is from Jesus) during storms, will you have trust in Him and will there be good in your heart and mind? In doing your own will and being without the power of the Word of God no you won’t because even the strongest man falls. There is nothing like having peace and being calm most of your days and not being quick to anger over the big stuff and especially the small stuff. I like having the power of the Word of God in my life I don’t want to live on my own in this cold evil world and let satan run my thoughts. I like being calm when I get a interruption in life and it can be where my time is interrupted or a finance issue arises or stuck on a long dreadful call that can be annoying these are just examples of life happens and it can be so consuming at times but when I have the powerful Word of God in me man does it come in very handy and I get that rich peace and rest that He (Jesus) promises to give if we believe in Him. Verse the next person you see get irritated screaming or huffing and puffing about traffic or a call that have to be on for a long time, or having to help someone and it’s taking up their time. The point is you are a person who is easily triggered and that is the most stressful and unfulfilled life to live. I thank God everyday I have His Word and I soak it all up! There is so much more in the power of God’s Word I urge you to go and find out how the Word can work in your life and I promise you it will bring you riches of peace (the kind that so many cry and search for and He (Jesus) gives so freely!) and so much more! I don’t know about you but being easily triggered, unsettled in my thoughts and heart sounds tiring and miserable but with the Word of God there is so much good fruits that are ours to have if we want it and it in this world we should be running after His Word! I pray this message encourages you to seek His Word and find your peace and happiness and so much more! God Bless all of you that come across this and be share to others who could use the great power of God’s Word!
