Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
What does God's Story teach us about ... God's Story?

Check out what Tyndale's Life Application Study Bible has to say about Hebrews 4:12 -

The Word of God is not simply a collection of words from God, a vehicle for communicating ideas; it is living, life-changing, and dynamic as it works in us.  With the incisiveness of a surgeon's knife, God's Word reveals who we are and what we are not.  It penetrates the core of our moral and spiritual life.  It discerns what is within us, both good and evil. The demands of God's Word require decisions.  We must not only listen to the Word; we must also let it shape our life.

How can I connect today's God's Story scripture to My Life?

  • Spend some time today soaking in God's Word.
  • Not sure where to start today?  Read the rest of Hebrews 4.
  • Ask God to let His Word reveal to you who you are, and who you are not.
  • Ask God to let His Word shape your life.

How can I connect Today's Story, My Story, and God's Story to Others?

  • Do you have a friend who struggles to get into God's Word? Offer to read it together.
  • Consider having some friends over to share parts of God's Story with one another.
  • Ask your Youth Pastor or Campus Club Director for some guidance on how to get your friends reading God's Word.
