“For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” Hebrews 4:12
The Word of God is alive and powerful. God is able to meet us where we are and speak to our “right now” needs through His Word.
