THE WORD OF GOD
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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.” Hebrews 4:12
For many years I have encouraged people to use the book of Proverbs as a calendar by reading the chapter that aligns with the day of the month, and adapting at the end of the month for more or less days. I think that is a great practice. Another good practice is to select one verse from the Bible and focus on it all day. Naturally you can read a daily devotion written by someone and do that, but I think the thing that makes this most profitable is searching for the verse yourself. That will be more meaningful to you than reading something assigned by another.
Never underestimate the power of simply reading the Word of God. The word “quick “ means “alive”. The Bible is a living book, and “powerful”. I won’t go into detail on the rest of the text except to say that it affects our innermost part – “soul and spirit”. Like a sharp sword the Word of God penetrates the heart and reveals God’s message.
Someone said
If you are cold, let it WARM you,
If you are asleep, let it WAKE you,
If you are a backslider, let it WARN you,
If you are defiled, let it WASH you.
If you are disobedient, let it WHIP you.
If you are uncertain, let it WITNESS to you.
If you are unsaved, let it WIN you.
