.
We all do that occasionally. Its easy, if you tend to keep multiple windows open, and just pick the wrong one.

Happy V-Day Connie :o)

Heat And Holiness
February 15, 2011

Why is it taking my hair so long to get dry? I wondered. As usual, I was in a hurry, and I didn’t want to go outside into the wintry weather with wet hair. Then I realized the problem. I had changed the setting on the hairdryer to “warm” instead of “hot” to accommodate my niece’s preferences.

I often wish I could control the conditions of life as easily as I can change the setting on my hairdryer. I would choose a comfortable setting—not too hot, not too cold. I certainly wouldn’t choose the heat of adversity or the fire of affliction. But in the spiritual realm, warm doesn’t get the job done. We are called to holiness, and holiness often involves “heat.” To be holy means to be set apart for God—separated from anything unclean or impure. To refine and purify us, God sometimes uses the furnace of affliction. The prophet Isaiah said, “When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned” (Isa. 43:2); he didn’t say if. And the apostle Peter said that we should not be surprised by trials (1 Peter 4:12).

None of us knows when we’ll be called to walk through the fire or how hot the furnace will be. But we do know this: God’s purpose for the flames is to purify us, not to destroy us.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply.
The flames shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. —Keen

The only way God hurries holiness is by turning up the heat.

Read: Isaiah 43:1-13

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. —Isaiah 43:2
Bible in a year:
Leviticus 17-18; Matthew 27:27-50

Thanks, Meg - another oldie. Love your bluebonnets - not too crazy about that 'pet' curled up in the center though. :) (Which reminds me that it's almost time for Roscoe & White Dog's rattlesnake booster)

Lots of pretty valentines posted yesterday!
