Fuel the Fire

DAY 1 OF 5

Have you ever tried to use a lighter, but the wind around you keeps extinguishing the flame? You keep trying to spark the source of light and heat but it seems like no matter what angle you use the lighter from, you don't get the results you want. But the second that you cup your hand around the lighter and guard the flame from the wind, you have a flame.

Our spiritual lives are the exact same way, God lights the flame of his spirit in us, but it is our job to fuel that flame and keep it burning. Sometimes when the ‘wind’ of the world comes our way to try to extinguish our flame, our spiritual disciplines serve as a guard of protection for our hearts. This looks like meditating on scripture, meeting with spiritual mentors, spending time in worship, and sitting in God’s presence.

The spirit God gives us is not one of fear, but gives us power, love, and a sound mind. The power we receive from God serves as strength that gives us the ability to conquer our obstacles and challenges.

Challenge yourself to grow in your spiritual disciplines and ask the Lord daily to ignite a fire within you that transforms your life and impacts the people around you. Continue to fuel the fire that God has already ignited within you!
