Let us have grace to serve
the consuming fire, our God,
with divine fear;
not with fear that cringes,
the consuming fire, our God,
with divine fear;
not with fear that cringes,
but with the bowing down of all thoughts,
all delights, all loves before Him
who is the life of them all,
and will have them all pure.
George MacDonald
This
consuming fire God—
the God who loves us and
would have us be holy and pure—
comes not always as Torch-bearer
but also as Light-giver.
the God who loves us and

comes not always as Torch-bearer

His
perfect light reveals
the
thoughts, delights, and loves
that
we hold higher than Him.
We can use His fire light to see and release
before He must use the fire light to torch and burn.We can use His fire light to see and release
...since we have been given a kingdom
that is unshakeable,
let us serve God with thankfulness
in the ways which please Him,
with reverence and holy fear.
For it is perfectly true that
our God is a burning fire.
Hebrews 12:29
Our God is kind, merciful and loving.
He gives us ample opportunity to
exercise divine fear and submit ourselves
completely to His ways.
completely to His ways.
We cry out for purity in the innermost places,
and He comes with His fire light
to help us see where we are not yet pure.
God, may those shakeable things fall off,
that I am left holding onto that which is unshakeable.
I want to be pleasing to You.
I want to be pleasing to You.
