He is a consuming fire

There are times in the morning when I am spending time with God that I know if someone walked in the room with me they'd be sure I had lost my mind.  Today was one of those days. 😂

Hebrews 12:28-29 was in my Jesus Calling devotional this morning. "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire." I loved these verses and quickly wrote them in my journal.  Then I got out my Bible and picked up in Exodus where I had left off yesterday in chapter 24. 
Verse 17 stopped me in my tracks "The sight of the glory of the Lord  was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel."
Some will see this as a coincidence, and some will think I had searched the phrase, "consuming fire",  just so I could make reference to these verses together. But I know that what happened to me this morning was my Father in Heaven communicating with me. He knows my struggles and He knew I needed Him to reassure me that "He knows, He sees, He cares" (just as Kimberly just told me last night). This kind of communication with Him is exactly what I needed at the most perfect time.  And all I can think as I sit here in a huge puddle of tears is who am I that He would talk to me this morning???.... But I know who I am.  I am His child who He loves. 

Please take time to talk to Him today. Read His word.  He has something to tell you, but you'll never know what that is if you don't make time for Him.  He loves you more than you'll ever know. 💒
