Isaiah 50:11- But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon fall down in great torment. (New Living Translation)
Herbert Bowen, Jr.
Voices Against the Grain Devotional Writer
Through the endurance of self, you located some kindle wood. From the sweat of your brow you struck two stones together to create a spark. After some effort, that spark fell onto the wood and began to smolder, but alas no fire. You tried again and after some effort, that spark fell onto the wood and caught a little flame. In your excitement, you rushed to get some foliage to place around the light. However, in your excitement, the flow of wind behind you blew out the flame. With frustration building, you kicked the controlled fire site and struck the rocks together. Without a moment’s notice, the spark hit the ground and a massive conflagration ensued. You are now consumed by the very creation you began. All because you destroyed the controlled site, instead of exhibiting patience through God’s timing. Amen
