Wednesday

our God is a consuming fire

something happened tonight. a beginning. a new thing. something broke, in the place of repentance and desperation. and some light was thrown on the path ahead of me. that is not to say that i have seen what shall come, but i have been shown - in part - the shape of things. silhouettes emerge, shadows are cast, lit by fire.

i will burn for You.

old, unnecessary things are burned away, like chaff. i will not hold onto them. i will watch them fall, and wonder that i ever thought i needed them. new growth emerges from charred ground. these are days of careful cultivation. truth is water. there is power in repetition, i think - one begins to believe. one begins to have faith. and faith can move mountains.

the path ahead is not a safe one, nor do i wish it to be. my God is not safe. He is a dangerous God. He is an untame Lion. but He is good. He is good. i will go where He is, and not anywhere else.

and my God will lead me into the wild...
