“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)
His Word remains alive and active. . .Truth holds power to
breakdown walls built around hearts.
Truth holds power to demolish lies consuming the mind. Truth holds power to find a lost soul and
redirect.
His Word remains powerful.
Once believed, followed and read daily; His Word will forever change a
person. The path once taken will be left
behind for one of greater purpose. The
world will no longer be a guide for living. . .only His Word!
Unfortunately, there is another word which holds major power
– IF WE ALLOW IT! This word can
breakdown the protection God provides – IF WE ALLOW IT! This word can demolish Truth which guides our
thoughts – IF WE ALLOW IT! This word can
take a soul far away to be lost and all alone – IF WE ALLOW IT!
Allowing this word to hold power in our lives leads to
hidden hearts; for each word believed places a brick to begin building a wall
of shame surrounding our hearts. Once
surrounding our hearts, these words travel to the mind; each word sits
comfortably in our mind to remain and control.
After destroying our thoughts, these words take over each movement made,
sending our souls into the land of lost.
All we can do to survive is run away from these words. The problem is that these words are so
tightly connected to us that wherever we should run, they show up there
too. As we dwell on these words now
defining our worth, we see no way out!
So why not sit at home, Bibles open and only fill our
thoughts with Truth in order to avoid these other words? We must live in this world. In doing so, these words surround daily
life. They can come through a co-worker,
loved one, employer, stranger, etc. And
they hurt. We allow these words to
define our worth. If the other one sees
such a description from their point of view, it must be correct. Their opinion really makes sense when
measured against society’s view of living.
The weight of the world’s opinions, descriptions of
character and direction heavily sits on our backs. We travel down the path directed by society
in hopes to lighten that load and avoid more words. We please others to minimize comments.
“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of
God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please
people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10)
My dear friend, the time is NOW to take a stand. The statements, comments, opinions or descriptions
of others do not define worth. The world
did not create us, weave us together in the womb or bring life in order to
fulfill a specific plan. The world has
no idea the strength, wisdom and power we possess when taking Jesus as our Lord
and Savior. The world does not even know
who they are; how can they define us?
The world loves to pick the splinter out of our eye while holding
up the plank in their eye. We have a God
Who is bigger than all of this. He knows
our inner most being, can account for every hair on our head and provides Truth
about our character. He never leaves,
never forsakes. He is all knowing and
always present. We cannot say any of
that for this world.
So, what word shall we believe this day – His or
theirs? Take a stand against the lies
that breakdown, demolish and leave our soul lost. Rebuild your life with Truth. Form a life consistent with Truth. Come back to the cross. Find hope and love in His Truth. Remain in the Word and the Word will remain
in you!
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
