Hebrews 4:10-13

10for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God
did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no
one will fall by following their example of disobedience.  12For the word of God
is living 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. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is
uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

MEDITATION
1. Most of us believe that God’s word is important.  But if we are honest,
reading the Bible sometimes feels like a chore – less than enjoyable.  Now,
think about how important the Scripture is to me.  What if I were unable to
read or hear anything from the Bible for a year?  Would I miss it?  Why or
why not?  What does “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight”
mean to me?  In what ways have I experienced God’s Word to be precise and
powerful, “sharper than any double-edged sword”?
2. Start praying by thanking God for the gift of His Word.  Ask Him to give me
more passion and desire for it.  Give God permission to let His Word to make
me “uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him” in the days and weeks
ahead.
3. Memorize vv12-13 and use them as my prayer regularly as a way of asking
God to make Scripture increasingly important in my life.

Personal Note:
God's Word judges and show me who I am.  There is nothing hidden before God.  He knows all my thoughts including my hidden thoughts.  God knows what I am going through and the Word has been timely.
