Hebrews 4

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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 intents of the heart." (v12)

How many times has His Word cut to the heart? How many times have we heard exactly what we needed from the Word "which liveth and abideth forever?" (1 Peter 1:23)  But that's only the beginning.  Look at the picture painted here.

The Word exposes our faults.  Jesus reminds us that He knows it's hard because He "was in all points tempted."  He assures us we can come unafraid to His "throne of grace" so that not only can we be given His mercy, but also His help to make it through.

Lord, we are men ready to be broken by Your Word, so we can be mended by Your Hand and minister to this World.
