Spiritual Heart Burn

Luke 24:32  "And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures." 

According to experts in the field of medicine, heart burn can be caused by many contributing factors.  Many times it is brought on by something that has been eaten and the pain worsens as one lays down or bends over. Physical heart burn rarely just happens on it's own with out some out side influences that are taken into the body.

In Luke chapter 24 we find 2 men that walked with Jesus following the Lord's resurrection.  As they walked with Him they did not realize that they were walking with the resurrected Savior of the World.  However, as they walked they could feel something inside of them that caused them to pay special attention to what He was saying on their journey.  When they sat down to eat with Him, He prayed for the meal and vanished out of their sight. It was at that point that they made reference to their spiritual heart burn. 

Do you ever experience spiritual heart burn?  You can't spend time in the scripture, and you can't learn more about the Lord Jesus with out it affecting your heart in some way.  As we learn what the Bible says about how we ought to behave and carry ourselves it ought to cause our hearts to burn within us.  Our hearts ought to burn with a Holy Spirit conviction as we process what God has for us.  If we are truly taking in God's word the way He intends for us to take it, it will affect us. 

Take some time today to meditate on some scripture and see if you can experience a spiritual heart burn within your soul.
