\u201cFor the LORD your God is a consuming fire\u2026\u201d -Deuteronomy 4:24<\/em><\/p>\n We were at the worship concert, singing and worshipping God. The Spirit was very alive in the meeting, and I could feel the \u201cfire\u201d of God all around us. I felt consumed with the power and presence of God.<\/p>\n Then I had this thought: Life\u2019s circumstances and the negative things that happen really don\u2019t matter at all as long as we\u2019re consumed with the fire of God. If we are really on fire, all the time, everything negative gets burned up by Him!<\/p>\n It may sound silly, but I imagined myself as a \u201cbug light\u201d, that when plugged in to the fire of God, consumed every negative circumstance, thought, or attitude before it was even allowed to get close to my heart.<\/p>\n This is what being \u201con fire for God\u201d is all about.<\/p>\n We are made in God\u2019s image. As we become more and more like Him, the real Him, we begin displaying His characteristics: His mercy, His love, His grace, His truth, and most of all His life. Life in Him is about being alive \u2013 being truly alive. And when we are alive, we burn for Him.<\/p>\n As we sang the words, \u201cYou set our hearts on fire\u2026 we are consumed by you,\u201d the analogy of being a \u201cbug light\u201d resonated \u2013 nothing else matters because the fire of God is within us.<\/p>\n Are you so on fire with the Presence of God that any negative thought, attitude, or behavior is \u201czapped\u201d in your midst? May we be on fire for Jesus, so that our main focus is Him, and Him alone.<\/p>\n Subscribe Now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bug Lights \u201cFor the LORD your God is a consuming fire\u2026\u201d -Deuteronomy 4:24 We were at the worship concert, singing and worshipping God.
