Alive

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

Yesterday, I spent some time diving into Psalm 23, making sure I had it memorized perfectly and I couldn't help but, think wow, this is good stuff! I hadn't quite realized that before because there are some scriptures or bible stories that I hear so often that they start to become mundane and their words can become almost empty to me. I know I am not alone in this so, I looked up some suggestion on how to make the bible come alive and thought I’d share them:

Next time, after studying the Word ask yourself...

1. How does the point of this passage relate to:

The different relationships in my life?
The different activities I'm engaged in every day?
My attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs?

2. What rewards might come to me if I fully applied this truth to my life?

What problems might come to me if I fully applied this truth to my life?
What problems might come to me as a result of NOT applying this truth?

3. What is one step I can make or one thing I can do to apply this passage?

How do I propose to do that?
What keeps me from applying this truth?
What would help me apply this truth?
When is it most difficult for me to apply this truth?

4. What is my personal prayer regarding this truth?
