Fred's Daily Devo # 71 "The Word of God is Living, Active and Sharp"

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. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12

Commentary: The word of God is not some dry, dead, passive words written on a page but it is the word spoken by the God of the universe. That means these words themselves are truth from God himself and therefore come with great power. God's word is described here as living, active and sharp. God's word is able to penetrate, dividing the soul and the spirit and God's word is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of he heart. Nothing is hidden from God's sight and we must give an account to him of our stewardship. Yet this awesome God loves us and desires to have a relationship with us! Amazing!

Prayer: Father in Jesus Name, I thank you for your living, active, sharp and powerful word. Help me Lord God to meditate regularly in your word and walk in it so that I will be changed by it.

In Jesus Name! Amen

Jesus the Great High Priest
