Hebrews 4: 12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

If you can just get someone to read God's Word, their lives will be changed.  It pierces the heart.  It is the final word on truth and it strikes a chord in our hearts.  It speaks to us in a personal way.

 Someone in my class on Sunday mentioned that the people in the dark recesses of the world who have never heard about God, about Christ, are lost and without hope.

I said, so are the people of America.  They are surrounded by churches and television sermons, and videos and Christian music--but they don't hear.  They are lost.

The secret to finding God comes from within.  God promised over and over in this quick, powerful, and sharp book that if you seek him, you will find him.  The problem with the dark recesses of the world and the busy streets and cities of America is exactly the same.  You have to seek Him.  And as you do, he reveals himself to you.  His word is a discerner of your heart.  Your thoughts.  Your intents.

God wants to be found.  His glory surrounds us in creation.  But a person must start looking.

And a good place to start is to look up, look around, watch the natural world.  Read the Bible.

Psalms 19: 1-3 "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament (sky) shows his handiwork.  Day unto day they utter speech, and night unto night they show knowledge.  There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard."

Seek Him.  You will find Him.  He wants to be your God.
