Fire

As I lay here in our hammock beneath four majestic oak trees watching the fire in our fire pit, it occurs to me that the believer is like the fire in the fire pit. It burns hot and strong as long as there is ample fuel. But when the fuel supply dwindles so does the fire. But as long as we add fuel it burns on. So is the believer we burn strong for Christ as long as we are in the word, but as soon as we stray from being in the word and being in prayer our fire will too dwindle.  

I pray that my fire never dwindles may my fire ever burn bright for The Lord!

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:1-8 NIV)
