Today's Photograph . . . . Are You Just Beginning To Burn, Burning Brightly, or Maybe Slowly Burning Out (Cliff S) |
Bible Study Verse
Leviticus 6:12
The
fire on the altar must be kept burning and never allowed to go out.
Every morning the priest shall put firewood on it, arrange the burnt
offering on it, and burn the fat of the fellowship offering. (Good News
Translation)
Thoughts
The campfire at the end of the day . . .
the shadows of night lengthen and the light of day fades away. A
campfire keeps the adventures of the day past fresh and bright in our
talk and minds.
Add a log, a smaller stick. Carefully rearrange already glowing wood.
As the fire consumes the fuel, the campfire slowly burns out until the darkness of the enveloping night overtakes the faintly glowing embers.
Add a log, a smaller stick. Carefully rearrange already glowing wood.
As the fire consumes the fuel, the campfire slowly burns out until the darkness of the enveloping night overtakes the faintly glowing embers.
(Tom B)
Action Point
With the right wood and stirring the blaze occasionally, the campfire continues to glow brightly, sometimes more brightly than other times. However, because of the absence of care, the flames flicker, lose their brightness, and if left alone without regular attention, will soon burn out.
Life is like a campfire. Our Christian life can be like a campfire. Where are you in your life, your Christian campfire? Are you just beginning to burn, burning brightly, or maybe slowly burning out?
"The fire on the altar must be kept burning," it must not go out . . . add firewood and keep the campfire burning.
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Secret to a good fire . . . tinder, kindling, and fuel. Your fire starts from tinder. Without tinder, no fire. Tinder is described as about as big around as a needle or a string. Tinder can be any dry, easily lit, shredded material. Some good examples include cedar bark, grass, pine needles, wood shavings, clothes dryer lint, or wax. You can always create wood shaving tinder from inside a split log if all the grass and bark is damp.
