So stay alert. Don't for a minute forget the covenant which God, your God, made with you. And don't take up with any carved images, no forms of any kind—God, your God, issued clear commands on that. God, your God, is not to be trifled with—he's a consuming fire, a jealous God.(He is defending His word and His high honor. He makes a strong, exclusive demand on us: We must treat only the Lord-and no one else or any thing in all the universe - as God).
These pictures were taken last night driving home...
word can't express the sights in so cal this week... scary, yes. it breaks my heart to watch the news and hear of all the people losing their homes and the cities and towns they love and call home. we have seen the flames, the smoke billowing in the air, watched the embers blow, and smelled the smoke feeling it is as near by as sitting at a campfire... we are protected by the cities and towns surrounding us... we are staying inside for the most part, trying to keep from breathing in the filthy air as much as possible...
so, i pray... for those who have watched their homes go up in flames, those who are waiting to find out if their home is still there... some have been injured... firefighters are risking their lives to save people, homes, and beautiful lands that have surrounded the area for so many years... Father, protect the people in danger, draw them to you... be our all consuming fire in this fire storm... so that, through this, You will be glorified and lifted up... pour Your rain on this land that rages with flames, and let Your love burn into the hearts of everyone touched my these fires... refine us, burn my desires and make them yours... give us vision and purpose, so that we can serve You
