The Word of God Is Living

“12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Heb 4:12 NIV The Word of God is living and active— Sharper than a double-edged sword; Penetrates and divides soul and spirit; Judges man’s ways found in discord. It’s only by absorbing God’s words That these words change the heart; Led by the Holy Spirit— Greater truth daily to impart. The Word of God encourages— Gives hope for life immortal. After the breath (soul) departs Death’s kiss becomes final. Because the Word of God is living, It’s like no other book; Has the power to change lives, When we use it as our guidebook. The Word of God is powerful Unlike the words of man— For man’s words are not living; In comparison are bland. That’s why we need to pray Before we open God’s word. Pray for the Holy Spirit, His understanding to be heard. Because the Word of God is living It’s precious to the soul, Who searches for the truth; Longs to find each keyhole. It opens up the eyes And softens hardened hearts; Enables us to love our enemies; God’s plan of redemption it imparts. Copyright © 2009-2011 Maureen LeFanue www.maureenlefanue.com
