BURN BRIGHT FOR THE LORD!

Judges 13:20 – Devotional

Judges 13:20

“As the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar!”

From time to time we hear songs from a by-gone era when music lifted the spirits rather than enflamed emotions. Some of these songs go as far back as the roaring 20’s. It is nostalgic to listen to the songs from the big band era, and yes, even the craziness of Spike Jones or the Hoosier Hotshots.

I recall listening to an old song performed by a group called the “Ink Spots.” They began to sing “A Flame in Your Heart.” The lyrics suddenly electrified me. It was like the Lord was reminding me that His love was designed to express His words of love to anyone who would hear.

I am not sure I can recall the words exactly, but I hope you get the idea: “I don’t want to set the world on fire; I just want to start a flame in your heart. In My heart there is but one desire, and that one is you! No other will do!”

My mind races when I think of the magnificent ways of God. We often talk and promote burning bright for the Lord, but do we truly burn bright? I fear that the concept we have in our minds-eye is a large crowd loving and serving God. I think that is wrong! We are individually called to burn bright for the Lord!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

START A FLAME! – Judges 13:20a Devotional

by Pastor Cecil | Feb 17, 2021 | Judges

Judges 13:20a

“It happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar!”

Here in Olympia we have a radio station that plays only old-time records, some as far back as the roaring 20’s. It is nostalgic to listen to the songs from the big band era, and yes, even the craziness of Spike Jones or the Hoosier Hotshots.

As I listened the other day I heard the Ink Spots begin to sing “A Flame in Your Heart.” The lyrics suddenly electrified me. It was like the Lord was giving these words of love to any who would hear.

I am not sure I can recall the words exactly, but I hope you get the idea: “I don’t want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart. In My heart there is but one desire, and that one is you! No other will do!”

My mind began to race with thoughts of the ways of God. We often talk and promote revival, but do we truly know what it means? I fear that the concept we have in our minds-eye is large groups of people loving and serving God. I think that is wrong! That is the result of revival, not the revival itself

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
