Bible Text:

Hebrews 4:12-13

¹² For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Psalm 119:11, 105

¹¹ I have stored up your word in my heart,

   that I might not sin against you. […]

¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light to my path…
