I know this is from yesterday’s reading, I just couldn’t help but share these quotes.

About the edge of the Word:

It’s always relevant.

• “Often people wonder how a preacher’s message can be so relevant to their life. They sometimes honestly wonder if the preacher has secret information about their life. But it isn’t necessarily the preacher at all. It is the sharpness of the Word of God, delivering the message in just the right place.”  - David Guzik

It's never useless.

• “A sword with two edges has no blunt side: it cuts both this way and that. The revelation of God given us in Holy Scripture is edge all over. It is alive in every part, and in every part keen to cut the conscience, and wound the heart. Depend upon it, there is not a superfluous verse in the Bible, nor a chapter which is useless.” - Charles Spurgeon

It's the only thing that can spiritually pierce the heart of man.

• “While it has an edge like a sword, it has also a point like a rapier, ‘Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit.’ The difficulty with some men’s hearts is to get at them. In fact, there is no spiritually penetrating the heart of any natural man except by this piercing instrument, the Word of God. But the rapier of revelation will go through anything.” - Charles Spurgeon

I love how often Psalms is quoted in the book of Hebrews.

Fall on the sword.
