Where There's Smoke There's FireSample
In 2 Kings 1:12, we encounter the consuming fire of God's presence, an image that speaks to His powerful purification and transformation.
His fire isn't selective; it consumes both what is holy and unholy. It's like a refining flame that burns away impurities, leaving only what's genuine and true. Everything touched by His fire is sanctified, set apart for a higher purpose.
For those who are children of God, His fire becomes an integral part of their being. It's like an indelible mark, an unmistakable sign of His presence within. His fire ignites a profound change, infusing us with His holiness.
Think of His fire as a refining process that reaches the depths of your being. It's not just a surface-level transformation; it delves into the core of who you are. Like molten metal being purified, His fire purges away what hinders your growth, transforming and renewing you.
So, embrace His consuming fire. Allow it to touch every aspect of your life, both the holy and unholy. As it refines, it shapes you into a vessel of sanctity, an embodiment of His presence.

About this Plan
The age-old adage of “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” rings true with God’s presence: if it’s visible, the signs are present. In this 28-day reading plan, we see how God’s presence is symbolized by fire and the “smoke” that should show in our lives because of it. Note: This plan is based on the sermon series from the good people at Youth Pastor Co.
