My heart is overflowing with a good matter; I speak of my works to the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Psalm 45:1
I will speak of the one who created the heaven and the Earth and everything under it.
Ever wondered how apostle John wrote in his book –John 1:1 about Lord Jesus Christ –
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.”
Who revealed this mystery to him?
When God’s Word is filled in your heart and mind, it’s the Holy Spirit which gives utterance. (Acts 2:4) It’s the heart only which desires evil thoughts (Mark 7:21-23) and it’s the heart only which when is cleansed by God’s Word, made an abode for God by the Holy Spirit. God makes His abode in it and sanctifies the tongue which speaks the truth of God.
Our prayer should always be as per Psalms 119:171-172, “May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.”
Whether its old testament prophets like Moses, King David, Jeremiah or the apostles of Lord Jesus Christ, they all were ordinary human being but were chosen by God and with their complete surrender, God spoke through them to His people.
2 Peter 1:21, “For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Whenever I desire to glorify God with new words of praise, the Holy Spirit guides me and makes me write them. Once when I was asked to share my testimony with inmates of Tihar prison in just 2-3 minutes, I was baffled as I wanted to share my whole journey in Christ with everyone. Immediately Holy Spirit prompted me to write my testimony in poetic form which I could not, otherwise, have written and that poem was praised by everyone. I still wonder did I write it?
Prayer: Heavenly Father! Help us to guard our heart and speak of your goodness only.
