When you think about the Bible, what comes to mind?  Is it a history book? Self-help book? Book of encouragement?  Book of instructions?  This Bible is some of all of these things and so much more.  How often though do we think about the Bible as a weapon?  The first part of today’s scripture describes God’s word as being sharper than any two-edged sword.   As we read the Bible, God’s word is so powerful that it can cut right through to our inner soul to remind us when we aren’t living the way He wants us to.   The second part of this lesson reminds us that we have a high priest, in Jesus Christ, whom we can pray for His forgiveness, mercy and grace.  Because Jesus lived on earth and was tempted as well, He can sympathize with our weaknesses and is understanding of our shortcomings.  We can approach Him in prayer with confidence then instead of fear.  Share your troubles with Him and seek His help in your time of need.  The two greatest things we can do on a daily basis then is to read God’s word and turn our concerns over to Him in prayer.
