Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful” (it’s active!)
Read Psalm 103 (NIV)
1. God’s word SPEAKS to us today, as fresh and RELEVANT as it was when it was originally spoken
• So when David says to praise the Lord, we can believe that we should be doing that too
• When David says to not forget God has all kinds of benefits for us, we should adopt that as a word from God to us here today
• When David says God forgives all our sins — we should believe God’s word —that He will do that very thing, as we confess our sins and believe on the Son of God for cleansing of sin.
• When God’s word says He heals all your diseases — we can believe that God’s word is true, and living, and powerful, and active and that God still heals us today.
• When God’sword says that He redeems your life from the pit — we can read this word, believe it is as true today as it was 2000 years ago — and that we can by faith believe God speaks to us through it.
2. Personalize God’s word when you read it — because He means it for you today.
Ex. “I will praise you Lord! I will not forget any of your benefits! You forgive me of all my sins! You heal me of all my diseases! You redeem my life from the pit! And you crown me with love and compassion!
