"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
I believe if Satan had one aim in life, it would be to keep one from reading the Word of God. Although being translated from language to language and passed down over thousands of years, the book contains the greatest of truths, is unpolluted and speaks the very Words of Christ. Though we may listen to good music, attend Christian conferences, there is nothing as impacting as reading the Word for oneself. While the former can be man's interpretation of God's message, the latter is left for us to interpret through the Holy Spirit, where God can impress on us His truth. In prayer we can talk to God, and through His Word He can respond. I have not ceased to be amazed, how many times I have gone to the Word seeking, or simply reading, and how many times I've received either answers or peace, relevant to my current or daily situation. Although written so many years ago, the Bible is as it says - "living and active" - guiding, teaching and turning even the slightest of willing hearts. God, who knows our daily and weekly circumstances, our deepest thoughts and desires, is alive, living and waiting to speak relevance into our lives.
