Embers (Consuming Fire, part 1)

"For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire..." Deuteronomy 4:24

From the smallest ember to wind swept wild fires, God expresses Himself as fire.

In the dark night, the embers from our fire pit fly effortlessly up into the sky.  They are like tiny stars, dancing and shimmering their way up towards heaven, but their beauty is fleeting.

Everywhere we look God has tiny torches glowing and expressing His character.  They glow for just seconds and then die out, but their beauty is memorable.  The bird songs, the maple trees that seem to wave all their tiny hands as the wind blows by, the smile from a friend,  these are embers of God's beauty and love.  They float through our lives lighting us up with joy.
