And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in
a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush
was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. |Exodus 3:2 NKJV
“Furthermore the LORD said to him, “Now put
your hand in your bosom.†And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it
out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow.†|Exodus 4:6 NKJV
We are called
to host God's fire, but we are not the fire. Neither do we contribute to the
survival of the fire. Our mandate is to be vessels, not anything else.
Often there's a temptation into thinking that we
have authority over the fire.
