“LIGHT A FIRE!”
Matthew 5:16
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
It is always a thrill for me to build a fire. One summer our Boy Scout troop had a week-long camp and our scoutmaster taught us the fundamentals of building and maintaining a good fire. We always needed dry wood in order to keep the fire burning.
Recently I have thought about those lessons while building fires in our small wood stove. When I first ignite the fire there is plenty of paper and kindling allowing the flames to ignite. It is just enough to produce a flame. I am forced to keep the fire growing by placing larger and larger pieces of wood into the flames.
I have learned the hard way the folly of placing too much wood on too soon. It is necessary to pay close attention and place smaller kindling first into the flames until they get the larger pieces engulfed.
In the spiritual realm we sometimes fail to learn the lessons from the fire box. We must insure that we kindle a fire in new believers. Then we need to provide just the right amount of spiritual kindling to get their flame burning bright. As we add more solid wood we need to watch for the moment when they are burning on their own and producing fire in those around them. LIGHT A FIRE!
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions! - - - Pastor Cecil
