Tuesday October 13^th, Hebrews 4: ¹² For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. ¹³ Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.  It would be nice to be able to point fingers, but in the end we are all accountable, and woefully lacking, before the Lord God Almighty.   A two edged sword is able to see the wrong in others and point fingers, but at the same time it also exposes the deceit in us.  In the process, we see more of us than the other.  Through the gift of the spirit when we look at others what we see is the face of Christ.  The gift of foreknowledge is not for the few, but for all.  And the gift of foreknowledge is to be able to say “OOPS, in capitol letters as we look into our lives honestly, and to accept the grace of God in the humility of the lower case.  Nothing is hidden in the eyes of the Lord.  If that doesn’t give pause, you are either not living or not listening.
