"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 marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."- Hebrews 4:12.
I believe so many people underestimate this verse, because most underestimate the power of the Bible. We think that it is the activities that keep people in church, or the way we perform that keeps them there. But truly it is not at all. It hurts me to think that our generation is blessed with getting as many Bibles as we want, but yet do not use them. We do not understand how mighty and powerful it is. In the early century's people could not afford a Bible. So they had a Bible chained to the churches front door. It had to be chained because so many people wanted to take it home to read. They would sit at the doorsteps to read this Holy Word.
Do we have many of those kind of people today? It is apparent if you look around that we do not. And it just makes my heart break. I wish people could truly see that God is speaking to us through the Bible...
Well I got off sort of a tangent. The reason I wrote about this, is because I have seen the Word of God break people down. I send out verses to over 120 people every morning via text. Most of them, at the beginning, were not believers. A matter of fact, I made sure to send to the ones who "hated Jesus" or just lived for all the worldly things. But many of these "haters" have come to me recently wanting to know more. It took almost a year for some, and six months for others... But it is amazing how a verse in their phone every day, has penetrated their souls and open their eyes.
I am not saying for everyone to start texting verses, but God has a point in Psalm 119:13 - "With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth".
We must digest the word first but once we keep feeding ourselves, we can begin to spit it out to everyone else. Which in turn, penetrates souls and makes more disciples! Praise God for his mighty and powerful Word!!!
