Facing Life’s Fires (Following the Fireman)

Along the way I’ve discovered that God’s plans for us are mysterious and often unexplainable. This life is filled with unexpected twists and turns, but through it all one thing remains solid, one thing remains strong, one thing remains unchangeable—God.

In the most profoundly life-changing moments of our lives, we as Christians have a superior advant...age; in facing life’s trials, we have a strong shoulder to lean on, we have a wise ear that leans in to listen, we have strong arms that hold us up, we have the power of the universe waiting to work toward our advantage; we have a God Who is using every ounce of His power to our advantage.

The good news is that when life’s fires come (and they will), we do not have to go through the flames alone; we have a God Who walks with us through the fire; and when we step out of the flames, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, our clothes won’t even smell of fire.

So join me as I put my trust fully in God, allowing Him to turn my trials into rejoicing, my fears into faith, my fires into hope.

Final Thought: The flames of life’s fires will not consume me when I am faithfully following the Great Fireman.
