For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. — Hebrews 4:12

What is the best thing to fix a broken heart? …a heart bypass? …angioplasty? …heart made of plastic? …transplant? How about God’s Word? You see, these other methods can help people’s physical hearts a lot, but God’s heart surgery tool is his Word. This sharp scalpel is both good for the body and good for the soul and spirit. So, how much of your heart are you willing to let God and his powerful heart-healing tool touch? When you read God’s Word or hear God’s message preached, why not ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand, apply, and live out what you are learning? Let’s give the Great Physician our hearts so he can do his work in us.

Prayer

Holy God, I pray that when I read your Bible and hear your Word preached and taught, the Holy Spirit will get into my heart and convict me of sin, make me uncomfortable in areas where I need to grow, and stir me up to be more like Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
