BURNING FOR HIS WORD

 

BURNING FOR HIS WORD

(In my heart)

 

I am NOT

Much of a camper

But I always KNEW

Water puts out fire

 

But I read recently

Fire can put out water too

 

ONE thing I know

Is that I know

If that I BURN

For the Lord’s word-in my heart

BURNING FOR THE WORD

In my HEART!

 

“The God who answers

WITH FIRE=is God”                                                                                                               1 Kings 18:24

 

Elijah must have

Known this too=

For even though

God seemed DISTANT and silent

To the people of Baal

 

Elijah knew he could

EXPECT his sopping wet offering

Could explode into flames

 

And God can ANSWER

Our petitions too

IF we are BURNING

With THE WORD OF GOD

Inside our hearts

 

“If your enemy

Is hungry=feed him

If he is thirsty=give him

Something to drink

 

In doing that=You will heap

BURNING COALS=on his head”                                                                                               Romans 12:20

 

God can ANSWER our yearnings

WITH FIRE TOO

 

He can make our HEARTS

Burn for the WORD of God

He can make us

Become aware=of our sins

 

And he can REPLACE

A period of dryness

With a brand new FAITH

 

BURNING FOR HIS WORD

Inside of our hearts

 

“……..man does NOT live

On bread alone==but on

EVERY WORD

 

That comes from

The mouth of the LORD”                                                                                                         Deuteronomy 8:3

 

“In the beginning

WAS THE WORD

And the WORD=was with God

And the WORD=was God”                                                                                             John 1:1

 

“Take the helmet

Of salvation=and the sword

Of the SPIRIT=which is

THE WORD OF GOD”                                                                                                                 Ephesians 6:17

 

The Lord moves us

With the WORD OF GOD

In our hearts

 

To love him=God

And love one another

 

He can give us

A DESIRE for justice=and joy

Through the gospel

 

Dear Lord=my heart

OUR HEARTS

Are=BURNING FOR YOUR WORD

 

IGNITE our hearts

BURNING FOR HIS HEART

In my heart=our hearts

 

Ps       In Jesus’ name=our Holy Father’s name=and in the name of the WORD and SPIRIT of God!
