DAY 3 OF 3

Sharper Than Two Edge Sword.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” 

God’s Word is active, alive and full of power. His Word will expose, sift, analyze and judge the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Keep the ground of your heart clean. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:3-4‬ ‭KJV states, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.”‬ 

Keep your hands clean and your heart pure. Keep your character clean. Choose not to gossip about the failures or shortcomings of others. Choose to cover. Choose to Love. Choose to direct hearts back to Christ. 

“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.” Matthew‬ ‭7:3-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬
