GOD’S
WORD
BREAD
12 For 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. 13 Nothing 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
4:12-13 (NIV)
BUTTER
“Nothing
is more foolish than to rest satisfied with the present state, which we see to
be fleeting; and every man is mistaken who hopes to be able to obtain perfect
happiness till he has ascended to God….But this would be of no avail, if the
manner of seeking him were not pointed out; and therefore he exhibits the Word,
from which we must not in any respect turn aside; for if we make the smallest
departure from it, we shall be involved in strange labyrinths, and shall find
no way of extricating ourselves.” John
Calvin
HEART
SAVOR
· God’s Word
is flawless. It points me to God,
teaches me of Him and shows me the way I should walk.
· God’s Word
allows me not to “rest satisfied” in my present state which is fleeting rather
grows me up in Him as I apply its Truth to my life through the power of the Spirit. This, by the way, is where true joy and peace
abide as it is His good, pleasing and perfect will for my life. It is the life that is truly life.
· God’s Word
is alive; it penetrates my heart pointing to things that must go for better
things to come. My heart never remains
empty.
