On Fire for God
“My heart was hot within me; while I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue” (Psalm 39:3 NKJV).
That’s a nice stack of firewood. It could keep a fire burning for a long time. Once it is lit, its serves to give both light and warmth. As long as it sits there in a nice pile, it makes an attractive picture, but if it just remains there and is never set on fire, it will eventually rot, never having served its purpose.
That can also be said about us as Christians. When we are gathered together in a church, we look good—it appears that the church is prosperous and serving its purpose. I believe that the Lord would have our hearts set on fire for Him. And when that happens, we leave the comfort of the local church and “go into
all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15 NIV). “All creation” may be to us, our family, our friends, and our community.

Check out my new book, "The Magnet of God: Creation Draw Us to Him," a 366 day devotional that includes for each day, a Scripture, a message, and an appropriate photograph taken by either Norma or me. It is available on Amazon.com as a Kindle book. Look at the free preview, and if you like it, please purchase a copy and tell your friends about it. Thanks.
