Sharper Than a Two Edged Sword
By:Robert A. Searles
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two
edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and ntents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12.
Perhaps this is why some of us avoid the preaching of the word, and
neglect to read the bible, and deprive our selves of the blessing and
fellowship of God our Father.
When we read the bible, or hear the word
preached, it tears us apart and reveals to us all the hidden, secrets of
a darkened soul. It shows us how black the heart of man is without the
cleansing of the blood of Christ. It shows us how we measure up to God
when compared to his dear son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
But, oh! what blessings we receive when we allow the word of God to
accomplish its' purpose in us, when we allow the Holy Spirit to take the
word of God and go down into the basement of our lives, as it were, and
search out all the trash and garbage that is there in the depths of our
soul, and bring it to our attention and give us the grace to confess
and repent of all the evil that is within us, and make room for the
filling of the Holy Spirit.
Every creature is naked before God. Even if we neglect to listen to God
speaking to us through his word, yet - "Neither is there any creature
that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened
unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a
great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of
God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,; but was in
all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4: 13-16.
