THE WORD OF GOD IS ACTIVE, SHARPER THAN ANY DOUBLE--EDGED SWORDS. IT CUTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH, TO WHERE SOUL AND SPIRIT MEET, TO WHERE JOINTS AND MARROW COME TOGETHER. IT JUDGES THE DESIRES AND THOUGHTS OF MANS HEART. (HEBREWS 4:12) THE FOLLOWING STORY ILLUSTRATS THE PENETRATING POWER OF GODS WORDh. An atheist went to a large Church to hear a famous organist who had come to his city. Many people attended the service, but the atheist planned to listen only to the organ music. Whenever the Pastor preached, read Scriptures, or prayed, the atheist would put a finger in each ear to block out the sound. Then a housefly landed on his nose! When he unplugged his right ear to use his hand to shoo the fly away, the word of Scripture being read just then was, PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED ( Acts 16:31). Quickly the man put his finger back into his ear -- but he couldnt erase what he had heard. The words kept repeating themselves in his mind. The Holy Spirit used this fragment of the Good News to speak to his heart and he was later converted!
