A Fire In My Bones
Jeremiah 20:9
“But if I say, “I will not mention His word or speak anymore in His name,” His word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.”
I love this PASSION for God and His words!!!! Keep in mind this man Jeremiah, has literally just been imprisoned and beaten for speaking God’s word. In the same chapter, he is expressing to God, that this life he’s living is hard. People hate him, and people are plotting against him, and people are beating him. Sometimes life is not easy.
He says, “if I just stop speaking God’s word, then all this persecution and bullying will stop.” Followed immediately by him saying... “I CANT STOP!!!!” He has so much passion for God, that nothing can ever stop Him from speaking the truth of God’s love and justice. That passion brings him courage, strength, peace, joy and purpose!
I pray we all desire to have that kind of passion! Like a fire inside us ready to explode! As our passion for God outweighs everything else in life, that’s when we start to experience... courage, strength, peace, joy and purpose! Live with Passion! And My God will supply your every need and desire! That’s my God!!!!
