“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” Deuteronomy 4:24
God is a spiritual being and has a personality and range of emotions just like you and me. He wants to be your best friend and alive in your life.
God is very jealous! And, His jealousy is like a consuming fire. You might ask why is God so jealous? He has power and dominion over all things. He lacks nothing!
The consuming fire is about you! God wants all of you. He does not want to share you with other gods or idols.
He gets very jealous and angry when you shut Him out of compartments of your life or choose to place the things of the world above Him. He wants to be first on your priority list.
God does not want you to turn Him off and on like a button on your computer. He wants to be online with you at all times.
Think about your thoughts, actions, and how you spend your time. Are you in balance with God?
A good method to measure your spiritual life is to ask yourself do you spend an inordinate amount of time, money, or energy pursuing an earthly desire?
The perfect symmetry of God is a blend of prayer, praise, dwelling in the Word, and learning to be still and listen for the voice of God. It is about living grounded in Christ Jesus and yielding to the Holy Spirit in all the details of your life.
God has no ego! You and I are self driven people and it is so easy to turn your attention to the things of the world.
Come to Jesus and ask Him show you what is blocking you from living in the fullness of His presence.
It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit!
