"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 and discerns the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
At a difficult time in her teens,an onslaught of unduly harsh criticism caused her to spiral downward into confusion and self-doubt. Before that time she thought she knew the truth about herself, but then her confidence was shattered.
Alone in her room, she reached for her Bible. She began to read the words aloud.The truth cut through the dark despair and severed every lie, one by one. In time, deception was shattered. Her mind was clear and calm. The Word had penetrated her depression and did its work.
Comment: No one is strong enough, or wise enough to win against false accusations of Satan or man. The Word of God has power to sever lies from truth. Read the Word. Speak the Word. See how it penetrates the darkest of thoughts and emotions.
Prayer: Lord I submit my troubled thoughts to you. Show me the truth in the Word. Help me confess it with my lips until I see the victory. In Jesus Name. Amen
