Alive and active

Hebrews 4:12-13
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

I've come to notice a difference in certain public speakers. Or just someone speaking in a speech. I've come to love speakers that are biblically sound and concrete. Backing each statement they make with scripture that isn't just to prove the point of the point being made, but rather using the word as God's original intention, that is to speak to us. And for it to be applied to our lives.

"Alive and active" indeed.
It's as alive as Jesus was after He rose from the dead. 
It's active and moving people in all directions to face God.
It's alive even though it was written so so long ago.
It's active almost like it is so full of energy and is ready to explode in your face (but in a good way!)
It's alive as like God has breathed life into it so its so very alive.
And it's active like its so powerful and influencial so much so when one reads it you can't help but be swept away by it.

The next few parts of the verse are always mentioned as its very visual and descriptive.Yet I do want to say a few words about the bit before the end:
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. vs. 13
I get tremendous encouragement from this verse. Simply because it reminds us that God is watching, nothing is hidden from His sight. Like he has super vision. And I think about those that might be suffering at the hands of those that want to harm or are against God, causing people to suffer. I just think that those that cause the suffering will have to deal and give an account. And God will judge that.

It is not in secret, though hidden to the public, it is uncovered and laid out in the open before God--the judge.
The good, the bad, the ugly.
And God can see everything.God reveals our sins at the very end. All the bad. But I guess we have an opportunity to deal with it. And with God's word (the bible) being so alive and active, and through the Holy Spirit...
We can pray that you'd be convicted (owning up after feeling bad/guilty) and so will change.
