Are you a writer?

"My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."                    Psalm 45:1.  NKJV

Are you a writer? Have you ever thought that you would like to write a book, a blog or a poem about Jesus? You say, 'I can't write, at all." Of course you can. You write letters don't you? And if you don't, what about notes to people or jotting down your thoughts when you've felt God speaking to you about something.? Of course you can write, it's just that you've never really considered doing it.

The Psalmist here is so joyful that he can't contain that joy, he has to put it into poetry; a love song to the King. His heart is overflowing with the joy that can only come from the Holy Spirit. When this happens, it builds up within you and if you don't shout it out or write it down, you feel that you will burst.

The tongue cannot remain quiet - ever. It's always busy saying this or that. For some people, they just cannot contain their words, they just have to release them. Others, may be more composed and keep things close to their chests, but within, there is a fire burning.

This is probably you right now. At this time in your life, you may have words within you that you must do something with - but what? Well for one thing, think about Jesus. Philippians says:

Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of a good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things."
                                                                                        Philippians 4:8.  NKJV

This describes Jesus doesn't it? So as we meditate on this, words can begin to flow from your pen - the tongue. These words are really beautiful words and the New Living Translation describes this verse as: 'Beautiful words stir my heart.' Psalm 45:1. Just think about this phrase. Our heart is stirred when we read scripture and your pen can then begin to write,

You may not have the desire to write a book, but then again, you may have. But you do have the  capability to read God's Word and write things down in your note book. This is one of the ways that God speaks to us. Many people have written some lovely poems by doing this; others have written songs. You're no different. You have a tongue so therefore, this can be the beginning of a ready writer.

Why not sit and meditate today and then let your pen begin to write. You never know, what you come up with may bless many people.

Give it a try!
