The Discerning Word of God

Where do you find wisdom, understanding, and discernment for your life?
When we open ourselves to it, God’s word is living and active in our lives. God’s word cuts to the heart and soul, and searches our spirit. God’s word gives us the wisdom, understanding, and discernment we need.
The author of Hebrews writes, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12, ESV).
When we search the word of God, the word of God searches us and gives us the wisdom we need to live our lives. God’s word is living and active and helps discern our thoughts and the intentions of our heart.
May we find the wisdom we need in our lives as we search God’s word, and as the word of God searches us and gives us discernment.
A Collect for Peace: “O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
