“It’s Alive”

For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (ASV)

Verse Reflections:  If God’s word is living that means it grows, it breathes, it has energy.  It can change and evolve.  I feel all of this.  I can read the exact same verse at ten separate times in my life and it touches my soul in completely different ways each time.  When I start my day with God’s word I can feel it pulse inside my heart, it takes root inside my mind and grows during the day.  It fills empty spaces inside my body that can haunt me when I don’t start my day with Him.  God’s word is the only “offensive” weapon quoted in the Bible.  When we read it, incorporate it into our lives we are able to not live defensively.  I don’t have to fight all my food thoughts nearly as viciously, instead I am filled with God thoughts and the food is a secondary part of my day.  My soul and spirit are not divided when I start my day with God’s light.  The thoughts and intents of my heart are God filled and God led.  Today we are going to begin our day with God’s word and claim its energy and life.  It will breathe for us and with us and lead our soul and spirit to eat foods that will give us health and energy.

Prayer:  Father, thank You for Your living word.  Thank You that Your word is active in this world.  It is not a book to be sitting on a shelf.  It is conversation, words that lift us up, that make us better people that give us a perspective beyond this earth.  It joins our soul and spirit with our bodies and gives our heart the desires that You control.  Today, Lord, I look forward to the beautiful thoughts that You give me.  I know You are going to give me desires, thoughts and intents for healthy foods.  Thank You for the strength You gave me yesterday and the living, breathing energy You are going to give me today to live for You.  Love You and I am looking forward to hearing Your words inside of me today and letting them grow as I grow.
