FIRE - What kindling do we use?




 Is 50:11 "Behold, all you who kindle a Fire, who encircle yourselves with firebrands ....... and you will lie down in torment" 

 Proverbs 26:21 "Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, SO IS a contentious man to kindle strife" 

 Sitting here thinking about the ugly stuff going on over in IRAQ .. and other places. . and here at home in America. There are many kinds of FIRES in this world. Most are destructive .. and yet ONE is constructive. I question myself a lot .... what am I adding to each day? Do my words bring life or death? Each of us have an opportunity to either have the embers of the fire to go out .. or to add more wood and cause the fire to increase. What type of fire is it? 

A fire is created to bring heat or to burn down. Am I adding to a good fire that gives or am I adding to a fire that destroys? You can look at the world and see many fires burning .. most for destruction and started by man. How do I add to these fires? Mostly by the Words of my mouth. Every day I am challenged in this area.. and that is why every day I must be in His Word so that His Word trumps over my words.

 How do I cause a fire to go out? Actually by Words also .. or sometimes by silence. God has a FIRE - His fire is to destroy the evil in this world and to burn and consume the evil in me. Deut 32:22 King David put it so simple "Let the Words of my mouth .. and the MEDITATION of my Heart .. be acceptable in Your Sight" Ps 19:14 "Let my MEDITATION be pleasing to Him.." Ps 104:34 "Oh how I love Your law! 

It is my MEDITATION all the day" Ps 119:97 The Kindling we use is the MEDITATION that we gather in our hearts ... if we gather kindling from His Word and being in His Presence then we will build good fires that are constructive .. if we gather kindling from the world . those are the fires are mostly for "dis-struction" . not "con-struction". DIS brings division and CON brings a Gathering together. How i want my words to BUILD, CONstruct, bring together ...... not be "dis" ......

MIREY CLAY

 JUNE 2016 Psalms 40:2a "He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay"   Have you ever seen quick sand or watched people battle in mud?   Quick sand has no foundation and both have a suction that seemingly prohibits you escaping it's grasp.   Sitting here thinking on God picking us up out of the miry clay as the Psalms states and got such a picture of this.   There we are, stuck in the pool (pit) of destruction, trying, grasping at the walls, trying to get out. With quick sand the more YOU struggle the deeper you sink. In mud, you keep sliding right back down into the pit. There is no sure thing to grasp hold of to get yourself out.   What I saw was two different scenarios and both with God calling to each. The one hears but keeps trying on his own and keeps slipping and sliding deeper. The other hears and looks up and all he does is reach up and allows God to reach down and pull him up out.   This speaks of Salvation in Jesus......and th

MORNING TIME

Image
APRIL 2016 Friday's are my very slow mornings.  Every morning is slow for me as I am not a morning person but Friday's are my "hey, it's ok to be slow today so slow down even more and enjoy" kind of mornings.  So I got my Giant Blueberry Pancake together and in the oven and putting my water on for my coffee and getting ready for some "Him and I" time and just sitting down and talking. And I got to thinking about this and relating it to a husband and wife sitting down in the morning getting ready to start their day and talking and enjoying a cup of coffee and they think and talk about the day ahead. And then I got this horrid image of a wife sitting there and asking about this and asking about that .. "When are you gonna fix that pipe .. When are you gonna do something about that thing in the garage .. When are you gonna fix that hole in the wall ... When are you gonna talk to your son about his actions .. When are you .. When are you .. What are you

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

 DATED JUNE 2016 Mirror Mirror on the Wall ... (Tell ME what I want to hear ) ... Remember the story .. the Queen who had a mirror reassure her of her beauty and status in life ...   Remember when the mirror learnt about SNOW WHITE ... Remember the Queen's jealousy rage ....... Do we do this?   I have this mirror I bought for like 3-5 bucks .. and trust me the image I see is about 3-5 bucks worth. I look at myself in it and totally dislike what I see ... and have to go to another mirror of greater value to see myself as I am. I've been thinking on this in several different views ... I do have that ADHD or whatever brain .. zoom...zoom...zoom .. sorta like Skooter the Cat when he gets in one of him hyper moods..and he is zooming all over the house.. which usually results in something getting broke...but the trip is so much fun!   anyhow ... back on course here ....   So many times we are like the Queen ..going to the MIRROR/People and wanting to hear what we want to hear ... tel
