Living and Powerful
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
We occasionally will hear someone say about a book they have read, “It totally changed my life!” The author of such a book may have hoped for a life-changing response from a reader, but there is no guarantee that life change will be the result. Books are not alive; the same book may change one person’s life while having no impact on another person.
Recommended Reading:
Isaiah 55:10-11
There is one book, however, that is different from all the rest. Because the Bible is the Word of God, it is “living and powerful” and is able to impact us at the deepest levels. God’s Word stands in judgment over our most secret “thoughts and intents.” God’s Word always accomplishes the purpose for which God sends it (Isaiah 55:10-11). For example, Psalm 107:20 says, “[God] sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” God speaks with purpose, and His purpose is always accomplished.
Read the Bible with the expectation that God is using His words to accomplish His purposes in your life.
All of God’s work is done by God’s word.
