For 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. – Hebrews 4: 12
“God told me…” Have you ever heard people talk as if God speaks to them personally? Maybe you’ve wondered why God doesn’t do that for you. To be honest, God doesn’t tell me audible things either. But God is talking to you. God speaks through his Word. This passage tells us the Bible doesn’t just give us facts about God; rather, God uses it to help us in our present circumstances. In this chapter the author quotes some passages from the Old Testament and shows how God uses them to speak to those reading his letter. In the same way, the Holy Spirit will use these ancient texts to speak to you now. That’s why reading the Word of God is so important.
What could God be trying to tell you through the verse you just read?
Do you ever expect God to speak to you while you’re reading the Scripture? Why or why not?
