"My tongue is the pen of a ready writer" Psalm 45:1 NKJV
This Psalm can be described as a love song, in fact, a wedding song to King Solomon and his new bride. The writer is captivated by his love at this precious moment and writes with a sensitivity and passion that only the Holy Spirit could have given him. It is a song from the heart of an inspired and excited writer as he bubbles over with new words to bless the king and his bride.
However, it is also a song to the King of kings - Jesus Christ and His bride - we believers. The Holy Spirit led the writer to pen a song with joint meanings; one for Solomon and one for Jesus. We are not sure who the writer was but, one thing is for sure, he exercised his gift excellently.
This Psalm also has a very strong meaning for each one of us too. Do you have new songs come into your head, or perhaps some poetry? We should never neglect these because, they are a gift from God. Being a writer is part of the art world; it is something that is created, from the heart. It is actually a privilege to have such a gift as it blesses God and all that read or listen to the work.
You may feel that the songs you create or the poems that you write, are not up to standard. Listen, they are up to God's standards and he gets much pleasure in you doing this just for Him. If you play an instrument, play it for Jesus. If you write poetry, write it for Him. If you put the two together, you have a song, so therefore, sing this to Him. In His ears, it is a sweet melody. It may not come up to the standard of other people but if God likes it - which He will, that's all that matters.
You may not be able to sing in tune, but to God it is sweet sound. You may not feel your poetry is all that good, but God rates it very highly. Being a writer myself, I get so much satisfaction from allowing my tongue to be the pen of a ready writer. Note the term 'ready writer'. You need to carry a note book and pen with you for those moments of inspiration that will come when you're least expecting it. Always be ready!
Think about it for a moment. Have you a book inside of you that is bursting to get out? If so, then write it. You may be fortunate to get a publisher interested. Have you some poetry you have written or is there a song within you that won't go away.? Why not use your tongue to be the pen of a ready writer. Who knows, you may have more success than you have ever dreamed about. But one thing you will have is what the writer of this Psalm had - an excitement and inspiration that you are doing this for God.
