Construction of the Established

Hebrews 4:12-13 (NASB) -For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
~I have read this verse many times. But God has sent a revelation my way while I was studying this passage a few nights ago. The thought was "This is why we don't like to read the bible." Let's be honest, you are going to favor the friend that says everything you do is perfect and fine over the one who corrects everything you do. Gods word does just that! It corrects you! This is a good thing. The notes I wrote beside this verse in my bible was "This is why we don't like scripture; however, once something is found to be wrong, it can be fixed." If you are like me, you long to be that person God wants you to be, and this is the way!
Let me also throw this thought out to you.. The one who reads 1 book in his entire life span and actually grasps what the author is saying is much better off than the full who reads to have his book count high. What I mean is this.. Read your bible with the intention of change... Not to say you've read your bible today! The same goes for worship.. Anyone can sing a song... But to actually grasp the meaning of the song and to praise God because he has been so great for you is the difference in singing and worship. Dear growing child of God, don't be afraid of change! Allow God to fully equip you. The bible teaches us to rightly divide the word of truth and then we can be a workman that needs not to be ashamed! When God shows you where you fail... Learn from it and change it! I love you. God loves you! <3
