 Subject: Living & PowerfulSCRIPTURE: "For the word 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 instincts of the heart." Heb. 4:12 OBSERVATION: The Bible is a Means of Grace. When we read the Bible we experience God present with us and we experience God actually speaking to us - to our total being: BODY - MIND- SOUL/SPIRIT - RELATIONSHIPS. But, also the Bible speaks to us about these same things concerning the people in our lives and the events going on in the world around us. When we come to read the scriptures we need to prepare ourselves - to open ourselves to God's presence and to what He chooses to say to us. We need to go to the Bible every day eager and humble and ready to receive what God in and through scripture chooses to make known. APPLICATION: I love the Bible - my Bible. I love to "bake Fresh Bread". I delight in studying the Word of God. I listen to what the scripture says. I meditate on its wisdom and obey - follow - live by it. PRAYER: Father, I thank You for the gift of Scripture! I love Your Word! Amen! |
