In the book of Hebrews, in chapter 4 at verses 10–12 we read this:

‍“For whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

‍When I was reading this passage this week, I was surprised that verse 12 was here. I have often quoted this verse to speak to the incredible power of the Word of God. To remember and understand that every time I read the Bible it is alive. And although it is not changing, it is in fact alive, weaving a beautiful pattern of wisdom into our hearts and into the tapestry of seasons that make up our lives.

That is true. That wasn’t the surprise for me. It was the context. And every word in the Bible should be considered in context.
