Revelation of the Spirit - #14 God's Word is living

"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 amrrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12

In case you haven't noticed by a couple of my last scripture references I am studying Hebrews. I thought it wise to study a book of the bible a little more achievable for my spiritual maturity. I tried Psalms but I think I need to wait a bit on them, not that I didn't fall in love with them though :)

Boy, I am feeling so lovesick for the Lord today. I love the feeling. But today I had a bad day at school. Nothing big to make it a bad day but just one of those days. But what I found so helpful is when you're falling under attack of satan, you have a sword. I read this verse after school but I realized that through my struggles today I was referencing some verses I had read earlier. And what a joy it was to read when I came home that God's word is my sword against sin. When someone is putting you down, think of a scripture that gives you strength. Often there are worship songs that are scripture as well and they help to sing them.

But Praise God that he has equipped us with a weapon against sin. God's living word which was true 2000 years ago is still true and 2000 years from now it will still be true. He is with us through his holy spirit always and through his word he is always with us.

My challenge to you today is when you having a rough day at work or school or wherever it maybe just recite your favorite scripture verse or your favorite worship song that helps you feel as though the Lord is near you.

Blessings to you all!

Amen.
