Living and Doing the Word of God as One's "Ultimate Concern"

The Word of God is alive and power, and sharper than any two-edged sword.  It penetrates to the dividing asunder of the soul, and spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (judge) of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  The Word of God can heal the sin-sick soul, and enlighten the heart.  The Word of God can chase away the dark night of the soul.  The Word of God gives the shattered ones the opportunity to be whole.
