The Word of God

Did you know that the word of God is living and active, sharper than a two edged sword?

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. - Hebrews 4:12

No wonder when we read the word of God and when we have the Holy Spirit living inside us, we are able to live in right relationship with God. Our minds and our hearts become more aligned with God when we live in step with the spirit, and that is also when the fruit of the spirit grows in us!!

Reading God’s word truly changes us from the inside out. Reading our Bible is meant to challenge us, it is meant to grow us, it is meant to convict us. It isn’t just a book, it isn’t just a bunch of words on a page. It is the living, active, breathing word of God! And one of the most beautiful things about reading the Bible is that when we read the word of God, our minds and our hearts become more aligned with his. 

If you struggle with reading your Bible, start with just five minutes a day. Take even a small amount of time and once that becomes a habit, start spending even more time in the word! It is one of the most beautiful, beneficial, life changing habits you can incorporate into your life.

I am praying that the Lord may keep you attuned to his spirit today as your read your Bible and go throughout your days, and that His spirit will grow the fruit of the spirit in you!
