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.
