Perhaps today you feel like the fire has gone out. But maybe it hasn’t.
Maybe beneath the ashes of disappointment, routine, fear, or exhaustion, there is still an ember. A small reminder of faith. A desire to serve. A longing to pray.
A dream God placed in your heart years ago. Paul’s message to Timothy is God’s message to us: “Fan into flame the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6).
Don’t settle for glowing embers when God has called you to shine. Don’t let fear extinguish what God has ignited. The race is not over.
Your calling is not finished. Your usefulness has not expired.
There is still fire within you.
Challenge yourself: What is one thing you will do this week to fan the flame? God is faithful and will help you fan the flame to blazing brightness.
Prayer
Gracious God, thank You for the faith You have placed within us and for the people who helped guide us toward you. Forgive us for the times we have allowed busyness, disappointment, fear, or neglect to cause our spiritual flame to grow dim. Stir the embers within us once again. Help us to use the gifts you have given us, to stand in Your power, to serve with love, and to live with courage. Rekindle our faith so that our lives may shine brightly for You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

“The fire of faith may grow dim, but God can still turn glowing embers into a blazing flame.”
Wishing you a great week!—Pastor TJ
