Today's Reading: Jeremiah 19 and 20
When God places a message in someone's heart, it
becomes a compelling force that cannot be contained.
Just like the prophet Jeremiah in today's verse. He
felt the pressure building, people telling him to hush up about God's message.
But the words were like embers in his soul, growing hotter with every attempt
to suppress them. He described it as a fire in his belly, a burning that
wouldn't be ignored!
This burning message isn't just about personal
feelings, though. It's a divine calling, a spark from the Holy Spirit urging us
to speak God's truth boldly and without apology. We all have those moments,
those situations where the fire within pushes us to speak up, even when it
feels uncomfortable. Maybe it's a conversation with a colleague about Jesus, a
gentle nudge toward kindness during a family gathering, or even a comment
online that promotes understanding.
Don't be discouraged if you face resistance. Remember
Jeremiah? He faced plenty of opposition, but the fire within him was too strong
to be extinguished. The message of God's truth has a power all its own, a power
to heal, transform, and inspire.
So, how can you be a vessel for that message? Trust in
God's leading. Let the fire of His word shine through you in your everyday
interactions. Be a faithful steward, allowing the Holy Spirit to use you as a
channel for His message. Don't let the fear of resistance hold you back!
Embrace the calling with courage.
Think of yourself as a lighthouse keeper, standing
tall amidst the waves. Your inner fire can become a beacon of hope,
illuminating the path for those lost in darkness. Remember, when God places a message in your
heart, it becomes a compelling force, a burning truth that simply cannot be
contained. Let it ignite your courage and illuminate the world with the beauty
of God's word.
