Burning Hearts

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32

I was thinking about the Bible this morning and it being God's Holy Word.

I was reminded that it was the Holy Ghost who gave these words to holy men of God to write down for us. (1 Peter 1:21)

The Holy Ghost.  The Third Person in the Godhead:

    Our Comforter- John 14:16,26

    Our Intercessor- Romans 8:26,27

    Our Earnest Promise-Ephesians 1:14, 2 Corinthians 1:22

    Our indwelling presence of God- John 14:17

That should do something to us!

The world thinks the bible is a book of Fairy Tales.  A book to be disregarded and burned.

But to the Believer it is our Love Letter from God Himself.  God reveals Himself to us through His Word, reconciles us to Him through the blood of Jesus Christ, reproves us when we are wrong, and restores us when we repent.

God's Word refreshes our souls in a sin-sick world.

So, I had to ask myself:

    Does my heart still burn when I read my bible...?

        Is there still a flame, a spark...?

            Or has routine caused God's Word to just smoke...?

God, Help my heart to burn!

    But that's just me!
