Hebrews 4:12 reads, “For the word of God is alive and active.

July 17, 2024

Hebrews 4:12 reads, “For the word of God is alive 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.” When I read this scripture, it makes me think of the things I need to confess and make right with God. It also makes me think of the things I need to change in my life to live a more God-like life. What about you? Are there relationships that need to be forgiven and healed? Are there actions in your life you need to change? Are there attitudes that need to be more Christian, since you say you are a Christian? When you read this scripture, what does it make you want to do and change in your life? For God does judge your thoughts, your actions, and your responses in life. It is something to think about! God Bless. Amen.
