Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-23

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 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.

God’s word is the lifeblood to our walk with Him.

It is the source by which we are transformed from the darkness of this world to God’s light (righteousness), as we take it in and let it change us.

God’s word is the seeds of righteousness planted in our spirits.

But let’s be very clear about something.

The righteousness we seek is not a quest to be perfect or flawless. Only Christ Himself was capable of that kind of perfection.

For us, the pursuit we embark upon is one by which we seek to walk out the freedoms that Christ died to make available to us.

You see, the darkness and cares of the world will do nothing but weigh us down, making it increasingly difficult to walk the path that God has set before us.

But His word will help us discern evil (darkness), recognize it and defeat it on a personal level.

Our quest is never about being better than someone else. It isn’t even about being a better person.

And it is absolutely not about looking at others and judging them.

Our goal should always be to look only at ourselves, allowing God to search our hearts, letting His word penetrate our soul, that He may be able to put His finger on those things that He wants us to surrender to Him.

In doing so, we will become ever stronger and more readily able to resist temptation and thwart the attacks of the enemy.

Study the word. Absorb it and let it penetrate your very being.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
