Heb 4:12-13 NLT - 12 For the word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are. 13 Nothing in all creation can hide from Him. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes. This is the God to Whom we must explain all that we have done.

The Word of God is more than words on a page, it is the very heartbeat of God. It is the power of God to transform the reader or hearer if we will only open ourselves to it. It will reveal to us – by the power and work of the Holy Spirit in us – our motivations, our true desires, of what sort it is. For the word of God is truth (John 17:17) and anyone who is willing to be open to it will know the truth and be set free (John 8:32) from deception and error. Therefore, we should fill our minds and hearts with the word of God for thusly will God keep us in the light of truth. We cannot hide from God nor the truth, for God sees and knows all and we shall all one day stand before Him. Come before Him now while things might yet be changed. May we pray, “Lord, let us never try to hide anything from You, as though we ever could. But in trust and humility let us say, “Search me and know me, trace out all my ways*. Lead me in Your way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).” Lord, teach us the importance of filling our minds with You and Your Word that we would not sin against You (Psalm 119:11) and that we might not be led astray from Your truth. Amen.”
*See the song To the Praise of Your Glory.
