Today’s Scripture: Psalm 39:3
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY SUNDAY 29TH DECEMBER 2024.
The psalmist in the verse above said, “While I was musing, the fire burned”; that tells us something powerful about meditation: it causes the spiritual fire to burn; it fuels your inspiration. What are your expectations, plans, targets, goals and aims for the incoming year? You can put yourself on the right track and fuel your inspiration by taking time to meditate on the Word.
Jeremiah, like the psalmist, in Jeremiah 20:9, decided not to speak any more about God, but the fire within him— God’s Word in his heart—burned so intensely that he couldn’t hold back: “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.” Jeremiah 5:14 says, “Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.” Also, in Jeremiah 23:29, the Bible says, “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
God’s Word is described as fire and a hammer that breaks rocks into pieces. You’re already filled with the Holy Spirit; therefore, the fire of God is in your spirit. But to ignite the fire, you must meditate on the Word. When the Word is in your heart as a burning fire, you cannot keep quiet; you’ll always maintain inspiration.
We just read from two prophets, David and Jeremiah, who knew how to burn for God, and they shared their secret: meditating on God’s Word. It emboldens you to speak the Word with passion and conviction. So, as you pray and fast in preparation for the coming year, make sure you consciously meditate on God’s Word.
Pray fervently in tongues, and meditate on the Word until you get to the point where you release this “fire” from within you and enforce the victory the Lord Jesus Christ has wrought in your behalf.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word, which burns in
my heart, inspiring me to boldly declare your truth and purpose for my life, and to enforce your will in the earth and in the lives of men, all over the world, as I manifest and express your glory in every area of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
