We have been talking about getting God's word and love established in our hearts. To be established means to be fixed and permanently set in place, and meditating on God's word can help it become established in our hearts. Last night I read Psalm 39 where David says that as he meditated, the fire burned; then he spoke with his tongue. As God's word gets established in our hearts it becomes like a fire within us and eventually we will speak it. This also reminded me of Luke 24 where Jesus walks with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. As he opened the scriptures to them their hearts burned within them.
God's word is like fire and as it gets established in our hearts it creates a fire within us that helps us do the right things.
