Feel the Fire

Just wanted to thank all those who braved the heat, both outside and inside, to come out to the official dedication of LifeWay’s new home.  Special thanks to Sunny for bringing her drum and drumming songs of worship and praise while singing songs of thanks to the Lord for His provision and glory.  The interior of the space registered 97 degrees (slightly better than the outside air temperature at 107).  It reminded me of the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego when they were tossed into the furnace.  While their faith was being tried God was showing Himself faithful, even to the extent of presenting Himself in the midst of fire.  Though my flesh wanted to leave my spirit was saying, “stick around and feel the fire.”  I think it was a sign to us that if we are willing to stand in the fire He is willing to come along side us and help us while demonstrating His greatness with miracles, signs and wonders.  Yea, verily!!
