Fire by night
OK, I couldn't let it rest. What about the "fire by night"? Night in the Bible means "adversity". It also means "a twist away from the light". God's fire is his consuming power. It is the brightness of his glory. When we are in the midst of adversity, God's fire is our light, our power and our purifier. It burns up all the wood, hay and stubble so we can see clearly. When we are going through adversity we need clarity, power and wisdom. God's fire gives us that. When we are being tempted to turn one twist away from the light, God's fire shines the light on our deception. The pillar of fire that followed the children of Israel shone so brightly that all the nations around them could see that their God was supernatural, powerful, and that his presence was with them. God leads us by that same fire, we just can't see it. If we could, we wouldn't be afraid of bad news, tribulation, or temptations because God's fire is leading us and consuming every evil thing in our path.
I have always loved to study the Bible and look for hidden meanings to know God better. I think God hides things and shares them with those who will spend the time seeking them out. He loves to reveal his mysteries with us. I pray that I will rightly divide the truth so that others might love his word like I do. I pray that God will be magnified in your life as you read my blog.

well i have tried to become a follower, but i can't yet, but i really enjoyed today's post. I thought it was very enlightening and encouraging to know that when God is with you it will become evident to others around you! Keep up the good work mom and you should put a picture of all of your sons, or just of me that would be fine CALEB
Caleb, you should see her refrigerator. Once you leave, she sneaks those other people back up there.
