But if I say, “I will not mention Him
or
speak any more 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.
Jeremiah 20:9 NIV
Often we lay aside
our hopes and dreams because we believe that we are not good enough,
smart enough or knowledgeable enough to bring them to fruition. But God can and
will overcome all obstacles when He places a dream in your heart. Listen to the
quote from Jacob Behman, a German cobbler who lived over 350 years ago.
“There
are those who will mock me, and tell me to stick to my trade as a
cobbler, and not trouble my mind with
philosophy and theology. But
the truth of God did so burn in my bones, that I
took my pen in hand
and began to set down what I had
seen.”
The truth of God
burned in his bones. Wow! I want that. I want to study the Word of God and
allow His Truth to burn in my bones. I have hopes and dreams beyond anything I
can accomplish. I know that in myself I am not good enough, smart enough or
knowledgeable enough to bring them to fruition. BUT GOD placed
them in my heart, and no dream, when inspired by God, is too high, too hard or
too big for Him to accomplish.
Come with me on this
journey. Let’s allow the truth of God to burn in our bones until it
accomplishes the goals that He planned for your life and mine. I cannot wait to
hear from you as we walk this path together—hand in hand with our LORD.
