THE POWER OF THE WORD

Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. EPHESIAN 5:25-26 NLT

Do you ever avoid reading the Bible because it makes you uncomfortable? Certainly God often works through His word to reveal the areas of your heart He wants to heal—and that’s not always easy (Hebrews 4:12). But Scripture is crucial for the well-being of your soul The Holy Spirit speaks through it to help you move ahead spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.

Of course, you may be tempted to skip reading God’s Word or dismiss what it says because it contradicts how you think. But don’t. The Father does His greatest transformational work in you as you meditate on His truth (Romans 12:2).

So if you have any desire for God; any yearning for healing; any longing for a life of meaning, hope, and joy—then open Scripture, drink in its life-giving words, and do as it says. Not only does the Lord understand who you are, He will help you see how your life can be more fulfilling, healthy, and significant.

Lord, transform me according to Your wonderful, supernatural, life-giving Word. I want to know You and the abundant life You offer, amen.

In His presence… allow His Word to transform you.
