The Word of God and its importance

12For 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. 13Nothing 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

The Word of God is our standard for truth. It speaks in this passage that God's word penetrates and even divides soul and spirit. The Lord knows what is man( John 2:25), and because of this, He gives us the Word of God to discern what is what in our lives. Many times for me I have different emotions and different feelings, not quite understanding whether to follow them or not; nevertheless, God's word is "lamp to my feet"(Psalm 119:105) and will guide me into His ways for His word is inspired by Him(2 Timothy 3:16).

My challenge is that we will live lives of obedience to His word and His spirit.
1) Memorize Bible passages
2) Talk about Bible passages
3) Share about His word
4) Apply His word

God will guide us in His will for He is our Shepherd(Psalm 23:1), and it begins with His word.
