I dozed off reading a book by the fire. What once was a blazing fire now had been reduced to hot coals. Flames were gone but the embers glowed. Warmth had been given not only to the room but also to my soul. Sleep was sweet because the work was done. The fire had given warmth and remembrance, contentment and satisfaction, sleep and rest. I awoke to put another log on the fire. A new fire could start from these coals, what was needed was fuel.
With the addition of more fuel on the hot coals, a new fire will break forth. This is a picture of a Christian that has worked and now his job is done. From the skills of his old job is the starter for a new job. God builds on the past. The fire that we used to have can reignite into a new flame. All that is needed is a purpose and direction from the Spirit.
God has work for us to do. As we listen, a fresh voice form God will show us the way. It is in the times of quietness before God that new direction comes. Many times I get direction by reading the Bible in my daily Bible reading. A lot of times God will encourage me with the Scriptures.
Seek the Lord for His direction in your life.
Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the Lord while He may be found call upon Him while He is near.”
