How's Your Health

Hebrew 4:12 "For the word of God is alive 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."



As we have come out of summer, quickly moving through the fall, we will soon be visited by winter. This is a tough season for much of the earth's beauty will fade. Nothing will grow. Leaves will fall from the trees, leaving them bare; streets will be full of leaves, all because the weather has changed. People must change as well. Coats, hats and gloves will protect you from becoming sick in this season, and even passing on your illness or affliction to another. If you choose to wear or conduct yourself like its summer, you’ll be a perfect candidate to become sick in this season.

Do you think it’s a possibility that this is what the writer of Hebrew was talking about when it spoke about the word of God? The word isn’t just for Sundays or when you have time, but for every season. It doesn’t just speak to some areas of your life, but it will address every crooked areas of your life in which you need straightened. The word is never dead. It may be underutilized in your life, but that doesn’t make it dead. The word may not be prioritized in your life; however someone else is receiving salvation, revelation and sanctification by the word.

The word is alive and active, sharper than a precision scalpel for God intended the word to be given to his children so that his message could reach their hearts and bring about change. Changes that will not cause others to become sick, fall away, or not grow liken to winter; but He sent his word to heal, to help, and to bring hope.

Let’s get to the place that we will look not just at our physical health, but also our spiritual. How’s your heart? How’s your thought? How’s your language? This may be a good time for a full dose of God’s word: “For the word is alive and active…".
