Burning Brightly for God
“And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush.”
Exodus 3:2
January 9, 2021
Ponder This
Major Ian Thomas has imagined Moses saying something like this when he encountered God in the burning bush: “Would you look at that bush? It just keeps on burning for God. I wish my life could burn for God like that and keep on burning.” Then, Major Thomas imagined God replying, “Moses, you think this bush is so wonderful? Do you see that bush over there? I could do the same thing with it. Moses, it’s not the bush—it’s God in the bush. Any old bush will do.”
It’s not you! It’s not me! We are only the vessels of God’s anointing. As you surrender yourself to God today, He will fill you and use you for His glory.
Practice This
Surrender yourself to God today. And as you do, He will use you. Allow His flame to burn brightly for all to see.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
