Hebrews 4:12 says this:
12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
The Word of God is the top and final authority in THIS life, and in the next! Look at Psalm 138:2:
I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name!
The WORD of God is the SOURCE of the NAME of God! That is the context of that TRUTH! Put the Word of God in the top spot in your life and you will find yourself succeeding in everything that you put your hand to! AMEN! God is GOOD like that! Now let's look at Psalm 138:15-16:
15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning. 16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
JESUS knows where we are and what we have been doing! Never try to 'hide' from Him! He is waiting, so patiently, for each of us to draw ourselves closer to Him! When HE has the preeminence in our lives, ALL other things fall right into place! Thank You, JESUS, for welcoming us into YOUR presence! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with "For Your Name":
Shalom in Him!
