THE WORD OF GOD
Memorise:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged 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. .. Hebrews 4:12

Message
God's word is light. Psalm 119:105 says, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." When light is absent, people stumble and miss their way. I pray that the light of God will brighten your path and guide you through life, in Jesus' name.
The word of God is also truth. John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." When you want to know the truth about anything, search through the Scriptures. When you want to know the truth about your health, don't keep staring at a medical report; instead, focus on God's word and believe in what He has said in His word concerning your health. 1 Peter 2:24 says that by His stripes, you were healed. This is a settled matter, and regardless of what any report says, good health and healing is the truth about you. When you want to know the truth about your finances, read through God's word, not the economic report or forecast. Economists can say whatever they want to say, but you must choose to believe the word of the Lord. God's word contains the truth about everything that concerns you.
God's word is also life (John 6:63). If anything in your life or around you is dead, God's word can bring it back to life. By His word, Peter's dead business received a net-breaking, boat-sinking revival (Luke 5:1-7). By His word, the dead son of the widow of Nain jumped back to life (Luke 7:11-15).God's word is alive. According to today's memory verse, His word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword.
Today's memory verse further tells us that the word of God reveals things that are ordinarily not easy to see or understand. There is nothing hidden under the sun that God's word cannot unveil (Hebrews 4:13). Apart from unveiling the things that are hidden, God's word brings peace amid storms. When Jesus and His disciples were trying to cross to the other side of a sea, they didn't expect that they would be caught in the middle of a storm. The storm came, and it was so fierce that the disciples thought they would die. They began to panic, but thankfully, Jesus was in the boat, and His word calmed the storm (Mark 4:35-39).
Beloved, God's word contains all that you need in life. All you have to do is study it, believe it, meditate on it, and apply it in your daily life.
