Spiritual heartburn

SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:28-35
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)
Have you ever experienced this?
You were reading the Bible, and something you read hit you deep inside.
You sense that God is speaking to you.
The disciples refer to this as spiritual heartburn.
When the Spirit of God is stirring deep inside, giving you a sense of…
Of comfort?
Of conviction?
Of hope?
Of love?
I think many Christians miss out on this spiritual heartburn because they don’t eat the kind of food that causes it – namely the scriptures.
“When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight.” (Joshua 15:16)
Unless we take the time with Jesus, listening for Him to speak to our hearts, we will miss out.
The Voice of God still speaks today, and you can experience this heartburn too.
If you seek it, if you pursue it, if you desire it.
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, speak to me today as I spend time with You and scripture. May Your Spirit burn in my heart the message I need to hear from You.
