Good morning,
Praise the Lord for this new day. It is bright and beautiful. It is Spring time in Orissa, India. The Spring flowers are in full bloom. Praise the Lord for the way He makes all things glorious. He still makes cold hearts and cold planets warm. He still provides for the continued warming. He still makes churches that are so cold you could skate down the center aisle, into churches so warm you could get steamed cleaned. Our God still makes life a flaming "fire in the night." I read some time ago that the night of 23 November 1654 the fire of God's redeeming presence burned deeply in the heart of seventeenth-century French scientist/philosopher Blaise Pascal, who gave us such things as the barometer and the adding machine. From that moment on he always kept a handwritten account of his "fire-in-the-night" experience sewn like a breast pocket into his clothing. Upon his death the scratch of paper he had touched and crinkled countless times but never showed anyone was opened to reveal:
"From about half past ten in the evening until about half past twelve,
FIRE.
"God of Abraham, God Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers and scholars."
Our Lord God is a consuming fire. People that have been touched from on high by God, fires of the Almighty God will get fired up.
May the Lord infuse us this day with His holy fire that we might radiate His love and His grace.
In Christ,
Brown
