Fire And Hammer

      "Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? - Jeremiah 23:29.

             God’s word is like a fire and hammer which removes unwanted things from our life. Like how the hammer breaks pieces and fire consumes the remains, the word of God removes all the unwanted things from our life that displeases Him. It cleanses our hearts and minds. Just like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces, God’s word breaks the hardest heart. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh - Ezekiel 36:26.

          Like fire, the word of God ignites our soul. The word of God teaches us, corrects us and trains us. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness - 2 Timothy 3:16.  Like fire and hammer, God’s word refines us and shapes us. Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me - Psalm 119:133.

             God’s living and powerful word purifies our souls. Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart - 1 Peter 1:22. Let us humbly accept the word of God in our hearts as it saves our souls. So, get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls - James 1:21. 

                                                     

PRAYER : Dear Lord, We thank You for Your word that cleanses our hearts and ignites our souls. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
