Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Becoming Like Christ – Day 11 – Luke 2:32 – Hearts Burning Within Us – Growing As Disciples

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 (NIV)

On Fire

That is my hope. That is my dream. That is my desire. That is my prayer. What’s that? It is my hope and dream and desire and prayer to be set on fire by you. I want you to completely turn my world upside down. I want you to rock my world. I want to be completely changed. I want to burn passionately for you. I want to shine brightly for you. I don’t want to be a little warm. I don’t want to be a faint glimmer. I want to burn white hot for you. I want to shine like a star in the universe for you. I want to love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. I want to completely lose myself in loving, following and serving you. I want you to change my heart, transform my mind and guide my life. It is my guess and eager expectation that I will look nothing like my old self when you get done with me. You will make me moldable. You will make me usable.  You will make me new. I will be made able to accomplish your purposes and fulfill your plans. What those might be, I have no idea. But, I am here and now telling you that I am completely available to you. There is one thing that I do know without a doubt. What’s that? You will make me to be like you. You will give me a completely new life to live. That’s true. And yet, there is something else that I know. What’s that? I will be the work of your hands. You will make me into your masterpiece. Yes, I will. You can count on me to do all these things in your life. That’s great. That’s fantastic. That’s overwhelming.

What tool will I use to change your heart, transform your mind and guide your life? What will I use to set you on fire to love, follow and serve me? You will use your word. You will open up the Scriptures to me. You will use your word to speak into my life. You will use your word to mold and shape me. You will use your word to teach and train me. You will use your word to guard and guide me. Yes, I will. Will you continue to meet with me in my word? Will you allow my word to dwell in you richly? Yes, I will.  That will be very good. Then you will be changed. Then you will be made new. Then you will be set on fire to love, follow and serve me. Thank you, Lord.

Lord, I want nothing more than to be set on fire by you. I want to burn passionately for you. I want to love and follow and serve you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. Fill my heart with desire so that I will live my life completely with and for you. Amen

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 116 – Luke 24:32 – Hearts Burning Within Us – Growing As Disciples

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 (NIV)  

Open The Scriptures

Would you like me to open the Scriptures for you? Would you like my word to burn hotly in you? Would you like my word to change your heart? Would you like my word to transform your mind? Would you like my word to guard and guide the course of your life? Would you like my word to make you able to resist temptation and stand against evil? Yes, I would like your word to do all those things in me. But there is something I want your word to do in me as well. What is that? I want your word to help me to come to know you intimately. I want your word to cause my heart to burn passionately for you. I want to be fully devoted to you. I want to love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength.  These are also very good desires within you. What else would you like my word to do for you? I want to live a life of faith with you. I want to know where you are guiding me so I can go boldly do what you are asking of me. I no longer want to live a timid life of wondering where you want me to go or what you want me to do. Those are also very good desires within you. I want all these very same things for you.

What must you do if you want my word do all these things in you? That seems obvious to me. How so? If I want your word to do these things, I must meet with you in my word. That is obvious, isn’t it? Yes, it is. So, when will you meet with me in my word? I will meet with you in your word every day. Why is that? There is not a day that I do not need to hear from you. There is not a day that I don’t need your word to do its work in me. How will you be sure to meet daily with me in my word? I will set a time and place to meet with you. Why is that important? Life is busy. Life is demanding. Life is distracting. If I don’t make meeting daily with you in your word the priority of my life, it will never happen. Is this the voice of your experience? Yes, it is. So, you can expect me to draw near to you daily, in your word, so you can do your work in me. That will be very good. 

Lord, that is my hope. That is my desire. That is my request. That is my prayer. Open the Scriptures to me. Have your word burn hotly in me. Use your word to change my heart. Use your word to transform my mind. Use your word to guard and guide my life. Amen

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide - Prayer - Luke 24:30-32 - Hearts Burning- Growing As Disciples

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Prayer – Luke 24:30-32 – Hearts Burning- Growing As Disciples

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:30-32 (NIV)

Ignite

That’s exactly what I want. What is exactly what you want? I want you to ignite my faith. I want you to give me a passionate desire to love, follow and serve you. Do you not already have a passionate desire to love, follow and serve me? Yes, I do. I love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. But, I want more. What more do you want? I want to burn white hot for you. I want to shine brightly for you in this dark world. I have heard it said that I could shine brightly like a star in the universe for you. That’s what I want. I want to be so passionate in loving you that nothing will stop me from moving forward with you. I don’t want to move forward slowly. I don’t want to move forward reluctantly. I don’t want to move forward half-heartedly. I want to be all in. I want to faithfully go where you guide me. I want to boldly do what you ask of me. I want no retreats. I want no regrets. I want to hold nothing in reserve. That is very good.

How will you receive what you want? First, I believe that I want what you want. I believe that all I have said I want, comes from you. None of these desires could have originated in me. That’s true. These desires did not originate in you. That gives me great confidence. Why is that? I know that you are both a giver and granter of desires. I know that I can confidently ask you to grant a desire that you have clearly placed in my heart. Yes, you can. So, I will receive what I want by asking for it from you. I will seek you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength. I will keep on asking you to set me on fire for you. I will keep on asking you to make me burn white hot for you. I will keep on asking you to help me to faithfully go where you guide me to boldly do what you ask of me. Then I will shine brightly like a star in the universe for you. Then I will bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name. Yes, you will. 

Lord, I will make myself attentive to your voice. I will listen carefully to everything you want to say to me. Lead me through all the setbacks, and disappointments of life. Ignite my faith. Set me on fire. Give me a passionate desire to love, follow and serve you. Amen

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Knowing God – Luke 24:32 – Opened The Scriptures To Us – Growing As Disciples

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 (NIV)

Set My Heart On Fire

Open up your word to me. Show me what you want me to see. Walk with me. Talk with me. Stay with me. Use your word to mold and shape my life. Help me to hear your voice. Help me to know your thoughts. Help me to walk in your ways. Set my heart on fire by your word. I will follow you.

Help me to understand what I do not know or cannot see. Give me insight. Give me knowledge. Give me wisdom and understanding from out of your word. Guard and guide my life according to your word. I’m here. I’m waiting. I’m listening. I will do all that you ask of me. Set my heart on fire by your word. I will obey you.

Open my eyes to see. Open my ears to hear. You have my full attention. You have all of me. There is nothing I would rather do than live my life for you. There is no place I would rather be than right here with you. Use me according to your purposes and plans. Set my heart on fire by your word. I will serve you.

Draw near to me as I draw near to you. This special time and secret place is ours together. The door is closed. The volume is down. The crowds are gone. I am still. I am waiting. I am attentive. Quiet me so I can listen. Speak to me so I can hear. Set my heart on fire by your word. I will hear you.

My heart aches. My body cries out. I hunger and thirst for you. I want you in my heart. I want you in my mind. I want you in my life. I am fully devoted to you. I love you with all my heart and mind and soul. Set my heart on fire by your word. I am all yours.

Will you do what I ask? Will you open your word to me? Will you speak to me so that I can  hear? Will you help me to follow and obey? Will you guard and guide my life by your word? Will you set my heart on fire for you? Yes, I will do all that you have asked of me. Yes, I will do far beyond even what you could have asked for or imagined. Follow me. Yes Lord, I will.

Lord, thank you for your word. You are teaching and training me with your word. You are guiding and guarding my life with your word. Your word is changing my heart and transforming my mind. Your word has put a fire in my heart to love, follow and serve you.  Amen
