fire

Wednesday August 25th, Hebrews 12: 28-29 Do you see what we've got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He's actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won't quit until it's all cleansed. God himself is Fire! Fire is often used as a metaphor for cleaning and purifying as in the case of a refiners fire. It takes all the extra stuff in our lives, the dross, and clears it away. It leaves what is pure in the refining process. What is all the extra stuff that gets in the way of true worship in your life? What needs to be cleared away in order to experience a fuller revelation of God in your life? Where do you spend your money, your time, your thoughts and how does that interfere with, or enhance you spiritual self? God has given you the gift of salvation through grace, what differences will that make? How will you now live your life?
