Fresh Fire

When a fire has died down, what typically remains is smoldering embers. When those embers are stirred up, what remains of the fire is revealed. If a fuel source comes into contact with the remaining embers, the fire roars back to life. So it is in our spiritual walk. If we are not tending the spiritual fire of the Holy Spirit within us, the fire dies down. However, when we once again begin to seek God's presence and power, the fire is revived and the power of God is revealed in our lives. Are you in need of some fresh fire? I know that I am. As we begin to fan the flames of God's presence in our lives, the oxygen of the Holy Spirit will provide the fuel to the fire, and we will see God work in a new, fresh and powerful way in our lives.
