In Hebrews chapter 12, we see a great
cloud of witnesses and a race to be
run.
We also see a burning mount all together
on a smoke.
Verse 18 begins, For ye are not come
unto the mount that might be touched, and
that burned with fire, nor unto blackness and
darkness and tempest.
The passage goes on to say of that
terrible scene of Sinai all together on a
smoke, and so terrible was the sight that
Moses said, exceedingly fear and quake.
There must have been some scene, friends, to
make a mighty man like Moses quake before
that smoking mount which was on fire.
The last verse of Hebrews, chapter 12, sums
it all up by declaring, For our God
is a consuming fire.
I got to thinking about God being a
consuming fire, and that smoking mountain on fire
for God.
And I thought I wanted to be more
like that mountain myself because I want to
be more on fire for God.
Moses was on fire for God.
The Apostle Paul was on fire for God.
I want some of that flame to spread
to me, and I wrote a little poem
which captured the burning holy desire to be
more on fire for God.
Give me a fire, O Lord.
Give me a fire for thee.
Give me your fire, O Lord.
Let it burn brightly in me.
Give me a fire, O Lord.
The wood of my life I give to
thee.
Consume my ashes, O Lord.
And let a revival begin with me.
Give me a fire, O Lord.
Give me a glimpse of hell and eternity.
Make me a fire, O Lord.
So my life may be burned out for
thee.
Give me a fire, O Lord.
Increase my desire for thee.
Make me a flame, O Lord.
That draws others to you through me.
