“A CHUNK OF WOOD!”
Luke 24:31-32
“Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. And they said to one another, ‘Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?’”
It is that time of year when I rely on my trusty little wood stove to supply heat to the house. It has a glass front so I am able to observe the combustion process. From time to time I put in a large chunk of wood and almost always marvel at how resistant it is to burn.
I have learned that you never put in the large chunks of wood when first starting a fire. It requires a hot bed of coals in order to begin the process of combustion. After lying on the bed of hot glowing coals for a little while, things began to happen. Slowly flames begin to flare up alongside the log and before long it too begins to glow.
Not only does the log glow, it soon becomes hot coals that serve to ignite other chunks of wood that I place in the fire. This process repeats itself over and over as the day progresses. The entire house is warmed!
In the spiritual realm we must be aware that as we come in contact with burning coals of spirituality, we stop being a chunk of earthly wood. As we spend time next to spiritual coals, we will begin to glow and provide coals to ignite others!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
