It is often said that God is love, and this is true. It is also true, as declared in the Bible, that God is a consuming fire. He is loving and caring, and at the same time, He can become a consuming fire when the need arises, to consume whatever needs to be done away with. Today's Devotional examines this character of God and admonishes everyone to walk right with God so as to continue to experience His love and not His fire. September 1, 2023.
