Consumed With God

I want to be consumed by God.

The phrase “on fire for God” doesn’t cut it. I want to be burnt to a crisp.

I want it to be undeniable that God has seared His hand into my heart—so deeply that people have no choice but to give Him glory and reconsider their path.

I remember what a wise older man once told me: “The more on fire you want to be for God, the more you should read His Word.”

I also think of the verse: “Without wood the fire goes out.”

So by God’s grace, let me pile wood upon wood—the wood of His Word—and let His grace take it from there.

Amen!
