MEMORY VERSE: My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer (Psalm 45:1).
The psalmist begins here by saying that his heart is inditing a good matter, meaning his heart is overflowing (literally bubbling up) with good news. And no wonder. This is a psalm that prophecies the coming of Christ as King.
Doubts about that are erased by reading Hebrews 1:8,9 which repeat Psalm 45:6,7. See how they fit in the context of the book of Hebrews: And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, 0 God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands (Hebrews 1:6-10).
This prophecy then -- in the Psalms -- declares the deity of Christ. Now we know why the psalmist said his heart was bubbling up with a good matter. He saw the truth of the incarnation and rejoiced in it.
Thrilled, he offers his tongue to the Lord and compares the availability of his tongue to tell the message to the pen of the ready writer. He is saying, "Here, Lord, use my tongue to get this message out to everyone."
How available are you?
