Wednesday Reading: Hebrews 4:11-12
 
Key Verse: Hebrews 4:12
12  For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Devotion:
God’s Word is for our benefit. He has made sure that people all around the world will have access to His Word so that we may all find the truth. It is amazing the people that God will get to listen to Him just through reading the bible; but what is more amazing is just how much we can gain from doing a bit of reading each day. Just like you can learn a whole lot of information about our world and other people by reading text books, we can learn a whole lot of information about God through reading our bibles.

When you have been out of school for a while you may look back and think about all the things that you would be able to remember back then for exams and think, “what has happened that I have forgotten all that information?” Well, the short answer is that you may well have stop reading about it. You see, the more that we read about things, the more they remain in the forefront of our minds and the more likely we are to remember them. But when we put aside those books we put aside those thoughts and those memories. Unless as continue to remind ourselves of those memories they will be cast into the realm of forgotten memories just as all the others have.

We need to take in God’s Word each and every day so that we can keep fresh in our minds all that He wants us to do. We need to keep fresh in our minds all that He requires of us. We need to remember all that He has done for us and all that we can do for Him. God has given us our bibles so that all of this can be up front in our minds – where it belongs! The more we read it the more we will realise just how important God is in our lives!

Points to Ponder:
What do (or did) you think the most important information is at school?
 
Do you keep God’s Word clear in your mind?
