Fan Into Flame

     The Bible is filled with life-giving power. The Word will light a new fire in your soul. After the resurrection, Christ walked with two men and explained to them all of the Old Testament prophecies declaring the coming Messiah. Later that day, they spoke of Him.

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”  Luke 24:32

     Has God’s Word lit a fire within you? Ask Jesus to open the Scriptures to you.  Paul mentored Timothy to become a pastor of the Lord and he told Timothy this:

For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.  2 Timothy 1:6

     Pray for God to fan into flame the gifts that are within you. Let God’s Word burn into your heart and, maybe, like John Wesley, you can say:

“I ask God to set me on fire and let people watch me burn.”

     As we focus on God and His Word, as we spend more and more time with Him, He can become our greatest passion. Set us on fire, Lord.

Father,

Your Word is truth. Help us to fan into flame that truth so others may see the glorious future you have planned for us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
