The Fire in Our Hearts

Luke 24:32

They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

Two men walking on the road to Emmaus were met by Jesus, who accompanied them on the journey and joined them in their discussions about the recent events surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. They did not recognize Him, but marveled in His knowledge of the events.  Later Jesus revealed Himself to the men, resulting in their realization of how stirring that His words had been earlier.

We are joined each day by the Holy Spirit.  He whispers gentle urgings into our hearts.  He directs us along the path that God has created for us.  If we are obedient to the urgings, they will become stronger and stronger and will release great wonders in our lives.  If we do not tune in to the urgings of the Holy Spirit, the urgings of our flesh will become dominant.  The urgings of our flesh will always keep moving us further and further away from the fire in our hearts that the Holy Spirit is stirring.
