Speaking for God isn't about having the gift of the gab or being naturally eloquent. It's about having something burning inside you.

Psalm 39:3 gives us the blueprint: "My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue." Notice the order here - it's not speak first, think later. It's muse, burn, then speak.

The Hebrew word for "mused" means to meditate, and this is where the magic happens. When you meditate on God's word, something ignites within you. It's like striking a match, the more you meditate, the brighter the flame burns.

Joshua understood this principle when he meditates "day and night." He wasn't just reading scripture; he was allowing it to marinate in his heart until it became a burning conviction that had to be expressed.

When you're all for God, speaking about Him becomes as natural as breathing. You don't have to force it or manufacture passion; it flows from the overflow of a heart. Now meditating is simply thinking, reflecting, speaking, praying about, it doesn’t mean sitting in a dark room the whole day.

So if you're wondering how to share your faith more effectively, start with your quiet time. Meditate on His word, let it burn within you, and watch how naturally the words begin to flow.

πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘ Key takeaways:

  • Meditation on God's word ignites the fire

  • The biblical order is crucial: muse first, let it burn, then speak

  • Genuine passion for sharing faith flows from overflow, not forced effort
