Thought For Today: “A Heart Set on Fire”

While we say we’d like to be, or better yet, we want to be set on fire by God, the truth is that we fear it. And that’s natural. Just like when we smell smoke, see flames, and feel the heat of fire, there’s something inside that makes us want to run.

But instead of running away from the Holy Spirit, and running away from God’s plan and purpose for our lives, we need to start fanning to flame His fire, and start getting ourselves set ablaze by God, because fire not only melts wax, it also hardens steel.

And that’s exactly what Holy Spirit fire does in our lives. Holy Spirit fire burns away the impurities of our lives while at the same time toughens up our faith.

When we look at Scripture about when God’s fire falls, there are several things that work in our favor when we allow Holy Spirit fire to engulf our hearts. These include how Holy Spirit fire directs, delivers, protects, and empowers our lives.
