The God who answers by fire...

I said, “O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days; Thy years are throughout all generations. Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; and as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed.  But Thou art the same, and Thy years shall have no end.

Who is the God who answers by fire?

I can think of many things I would love for God to remove from my life. But what if his fire came and devoured something in my life that I wasn't especially wanting to get rid of just yet? He is a Holy God who is a consuming fire.

Lord, help me to let go of everything that might singe me if I hold on to it.... Because I know that your love is the prize that nothing else could come close to substituting for...
