Does God's Word ever make you uncomfortable? When you read your Bible, does what you read sometimes make you uneasy? That's just us realizing that God is alive, He can read our thoughts and judge our intentions. Whenever God speaks to us it's always for a specific purpose. He knows our hearts and minds. And He knows exactly what we need to hear, when we need to hear it...whether we want to hear it or not. Sure, we can try to escape the discomfort of conviction by avoiding God. We don't have to read the Bible or we can act as though we didn't hear Him clearly tells us something. But we'd only be hurting ourselves. He wants us...but we "need" Him. It would be to our benefit to make the connection between our life and what God is saying to us through His Word. Because good or bad, He knows our motives for everything we do. We need to take every word from God very seriously and know that He is able to judge our hearts and minds.
Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
