“Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29, NKJV.

A rock in our lives can be something in our way, and it seems we can’t get past it. If you have a rock in your life, don’t use your hammer. Use God’s! It is much more effective. Just the habit of picking up our own hammer, instead of God’s, can be a rock in itself. Just the habit of having faith in our own strength, instead of God’s, can be a rock in itself.

These times call for making this transition of using His word, not our own method, to overcome. The word of God can handle it. It can break that rock into pieces. It is alive and has power. Use God’s hammer, specific scriptures on any stony, hard places or obstacles in your life. Apply His word and watch God break it for you.

Confession: We live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I do not have any obstacle in my life God’s word cannot handle. I lay down my hammer and pick up His. I take time and pick up the word of God and as I do, the rock breaks into pieces. I put my trust in the Lord. Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. There is nothing too hard for God! I break it right now! The word is like a hammer and shatters all rocks in my way. Glory to God!
