Strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." Acts 14:22
Why is it whenever we get near a "life" fire, we try to run from it. Isn't the fire where God lives? Isn't He in the fire taking all the heat for us...for our sin...for our wrongdoings...for our selfishness? It would seem that we spend this lifetime trying to get closer to God but when things get tough, we run from it.
My encouragement for myself this morning based on this scripture is this: If God brings us TO a fire, He'll bring us THROUGH the fire. Right smack in the middle of the fire/ the hardship is where we'll find rest with our Abba, our Father. Don't be afraid to feel the heat, that is where we'll recognize the source all at the same time being protected from its damage by our Savior.
Lots of love this morning, me
