2 Samuel 14:28-33
1. Why is fire dangerous?
Fire is dangerous because it can destroy. Just like how Absalom's servants set Joab's barley field on fire
Acts 17:1-8
2. What happens when people encounter fire?
The Jews were jealous when they hear about Jesus Christ (Holy fire).
So they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: "These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus." When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.
This is meant to be a blog where I penn down the further study of my daily devotion using Selwyn's material: Everyday with Jesus.
Being Real in the Psalms
July-August 2009
Anger, fear, envy, despair, shame … How many of these emotions have you experienced? And would you admit this, to others or to God?
In this issue, Selwyn looks at the so-called ‘uncomfortable psalms’, those which express deep hurt and anguish. Recognising that these psalms have been included in God’s Word, we can conclude that we need not deny we feel certain emotions.
Instead, we are called to acknowledge every emotion and be entirely open before God. It is only as we ‘become real’ with Him that we experience more of His 'realness' – freedom, peace, transformation.
