ISAIAH 50:11:
Look, you who kindle a fire and encircle yourselves
with sparks. Walk in the light of your fire and in the
sparks you have kindled. This you shall have from
My hand: you shall lie down in torment.
Wooaaaah, such words of warning against playing
with fire!
Got me thinking about different ways we play with
fire....like subtly, not out and out FIRE kind of fire.
Maybe you can also think of a few of your own
minor arsonistic moves?
Maybe.....a little unkindness instead of just being cruel?
Maybe.....a little cold love instead of outright dislike?
Maybe.....a little rude remark instead of politeness?
Maybe.....riding roughshod instead of being mannerly?
I guess we all slip up on behavioral niceties from time to
time, but a good dose of Jesus-type humility surely
does not go amiss in anyone's life. Who was it who
said 'they will know we are Christians by our love?'
Or was that just a line from a song that was popular
once upon a time and is no longer on the hit parade.....
