Tuesday, March 19: “Trust in the Lord’s Fire”

Mark 9: 49: “For everyone will be salted with fire.”

Fire has many connotations, but let’s not forget one ots most important uses–to make meat fit for consumption. The Law forbade the eating of blood, and the Lord accepted only burnt offerings. If we are to make our bodies a living sacrifice (Romans 12: 1), we need to allow the Lord to take us through the fire. Fun? Not always. But trust God to bring you into the fire, be with you in the fire, and, when you’re done, take you out of the fire–acceptable to Him.
