Man on Fire
Moses was drawn to holy ground because he saw a burning bush, yet the fire did not consume it. Once there, he heard the voice of God and knew without a doubt that He is the great I AM. 1 Corinthians 3 says that Christ is the foundation and we are God's building. This chapter also says that what has been built will be tested with fire. If we surrender to GOD and let HIM build us into who HE wants us to be, the fire will only refine us. But, if WE build OURSELVES into who WE think God would have us be, then what we have built will be consumed by the fire. Make no mistake, fire will come to each of us. You may be on fire right now. The question is not whether the fire will come, the question is what will happen WHEN the fire comes. Will you be destroyed by it or will others see the fire in your life and be drawn to holy ground because you are not consumed by it? Are you letting God build you into who He wants you to be so that you can pass through the test of fire? Fire burns and we would prefer to avoid it, but we can rejoice in knowing that the fire we are tested by may be the burning bush that draws others to holy ground where they may hear the voice of God and see that He truly is the great I AM.
