We'll start off with Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword...".There's more to this verse, I want you to look it up and learn it. It's talking about the whole word of God; but believe me I know a single word from God can be very powerful.
This is one of those weeks full of stress for me--lots of things to do in many different areas. I find myself asking "How will it all get taken care of?" Well we all get there sometimes-- where you've forgotten Who is in charge. God is big enough to handle it all! In the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5) Jesus told us all to stop worrying about clothes and food. God cares! You just need to do what you can, and He'll do the rest. No, we don't succeed at everything we try; but God is there for us when we fail too, and that's enough.
I have been blessed with a name that reminds me God is constant, never failing and never gone. You see little ones tend to pronounce my name Always. My favorite verse using that word is Matthew 28:20 "Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you, And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Because I had that as a memory verse long ago, all it took to make me stop worrying the other day was to hear a little toddler tell me "byebye Always!" I remembered God is with me always.
Keep reading those Bibles and memorize some of it. You never know God might have a one word message for you too.
