Fire From Heaven

Every morning
you'll hear me at it again.
Every morning
I lay out the pieces of my life
on your altar
and watch for fire to descend.
Psalm 5:2-3 (The Message)

Every part of my life laid on the altar of God: dreams, relationships, work, finances, children.... These are just chunks of meat without the fire of the Holy Spirit. When God's fire decends on them they become an offereing, a sacrifice, a means for God to act in this world through me. The pieces of my life become a means for God to work in the lives of those around me - a beacon of God's goodness and faithfulness.

Lord,
I will go where you tell me to go
I will speak what you tell me to speak
I will do what you tell me to do
And I am what you make me
Every day
including TODAY.
Amen.

I love that:
"These are just chunks of meat without the fire of the Holy Spirit"

Consume My Offering, My Life Lord.
