BURNING WORD
Luke 24:13-32

The word of God stated in Jeremiah 23:29, “Is My word not like a fire “Says the Lord…”” Do you have the word in you? Does the word ever burn in you? Ask God to deliver you from whatever it is that is withholding you from having the burning word of God to be burning in you. The Bible recorded in Luke 24 about two who were no strangers to the Living Word of God, but could not catch the fire nature of His burning word when the word located them on their journey. The two on the way to Emmaus were located by Jesus when Jesus appeared to them. Jesus had a long conversation until it was time for Jesus to depart and they testified, “…Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)  You have given your life to our Lord Jesus Christ and you are no longer a stranger to almost every word of Jesus. Is the word burning in you? It is not good to know about the word and not have the word burning in you on a consistent basis. If the word is not burning, there will be no opened eye and it will constantly make Him vanish from the sight of a believer. Luke 24:31-32, “Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. 32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” Jesus walked with the two long enough for them to enter into a breakthrough miracle, but they only recognized Him at His vanishing point. The problem of the two was that the word that was spoken to them, the word that they were receiving all through their walk with Jesus, did not catch fire in them and as a result, their hearts failed to burn within them while He talked with them on the way. The Word of God is not scarce today and it is constantly in your face if you are a believer that spends time in the Bible regularly. Catching on to the word should not only be a Sunday–Sunday medicine. Whatever it is that is quenching the burning of the word in your life has a need to give up on you. If you are indeed willing to move forward with Him and also to maintain a constant communication for your transformation, your heart has to be in a place where the word is burning in it at all times.

Prayer for today: Ask Him for the grace to make your heart a place where His Word is not getting quenched when it comes into you.
