Better Promises : WK 2 - THU
(Hebrews 4:12-13)
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
I'll never forget the day I received that call. I was a youth pastor and really struggling. I felt like my ministry was not going anywhere and neither was my relationship with God. I didn't know if I was going to make it.
That's when the call came through. A dear sister in the church asked to meet with me. She said she had a word for me from God. I sat with her unsure of what I was going to hear come out of her mouth. It could be complete nonsense or the moment my life would change forever. She opened up the Bible and said that God told her to give me this passage.
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
And she was right. It was exactly what my heart had to hear. I needed to know that God had not given up on me and that I was called by him to be a pastor and to build the Kingdom. My Ministry has never been the same since that moment.
That experience and the experience of so many others has cemented in my mind that the word of God has unlimited power. It has the power to convict, to correct, to inspire and to transform. Whatever you need in your life right now can be found in the Word of God.
Continue to focus on it like you're doing today. Let it cut through all the noise, let it trim all the fat, open your heart to what God has to say and watch your life be transformed.
