With the crazy weather we've had in recent years I've read a lot of stories about wildfires that have broken out in some of our national forests all around the country. A wildfire can be destructive and clear our everything in its path. That got me thinking about our relationship with God. When I was first saved it was an amazing feeling but over time, as the devil began to work on me the feeling faded and worldly things began to distract me from the Lord. However we should always strive to strengthen our relationship with God over time. Hebrews Chapter 5 talks about how we are newly saved we must stay on the milk until we grow up and it's time to take up the meat. The same goes when Christ begins to light a fire in your heart. At first it's a flame the size of a candle. Seen but not dangerous. Over time, if we feed the fire with prayer and study it will grow to a ranging inferno within our hearts and just like a wildfire that purges the countryside, all the earthly intrusions in our soul will be purged if we let the fire consume us. And once we've been purged, just like the saplings that grow in the woods after a wildfire, we can begin to build a stronger life with Christ as the foundation.
