Clearing Brush

Thursday, Mike and some of the guys went down the coast to a place called 'Apple Pie Ranch', owned by Ross and Charise. The guys went down to help clear some brush for preventative maintenance for forest fires. A good work indeed.

But in meditating about fires, Deuteronomy 9:3 says "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." I think that everyone knows what a consuming fire is. Especially lately, with the news channels and papers showing what the flames do to the landscape and dwellings in the hills. 'CONSUMING!' Dwell on that for a moment. Let that sink deep into what you know to be true. Our lives are not our own, and when the LORD of the universe wants to set ablaze those things in our lives that might hinder us from worshipping Him and adoring Him, we should be like 'Here's another log for that fire, Lord!'
