Living and Active
The Bible reads us. It is living and active, reaching the thoughts and intentions of the heart that we would rather keep hidden.
The Bible reads us. It is living and active, reaching the thoughts and intentions of the heart that we would rather keep hidden.
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, discerning the thoughts of the heart.
A prayer inviting God’s living word to search the heart, expose what is hidden, and heal what it finds.
The word of God is not just something you read. It reads you, gently and precisely, and it does not miss.
God’s word is not a floodlight that shows you the whole road. It is a lamp for the ground in front of you, and that is enough to keep walking.
We have the more sure word of prophecy, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns.
Lord, thank You that Your word is a lamp and not a floodlight. Give me light for today and faith for tomorrow.
A lamp does not light the whole street. It lights the next few steps, and that is enough to keep walking.
Everything around us fades. The grass withers, the flower falls, but the word of our God stands forever, and it is worth building on.
