“Fires are lit in our lives, and they can burn to shine light or cause destruction.
We get to decide which purpose they will serve.”
~Jennie Allen, Restless
As I read this passage this morning and thought about how Joseph said to his brothers, “What you meant for evil, God meant for good, for the saving of many lives.”
Fires are lit in our lives, and they can burn to shine light; the light of Christ,
or they can cause destruction; our own or those around us.
We get to decide which purpose they will serve by how we respond to their presence in our lives.
For good? or for bad?
Healing or hurtful?
Saving or condemning?
Building up or destroying?
Edifying or tearing down?
I choose to draw nigh to God and allow him to use the fire he lit within me for his glory.
“It is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all they works.” Psalm 73:28
How will you use the fire he gave you today?
