Keeping the Fire Alive

Scripture Reading:
Leviticus 6:12–13

Devotional Thought:
The fire on the altar was never allowed to go out. God commanded the priests to continually tend it, ensuring that it remained burning. This was not accidental; it required intentional, daily attention.

Our spiritual lives require that same commitment. Yesterday's encounter with God is a testimony, but it cannot replace today's surrender. Powerful worship services, answered prayers, and life-changing experiences are reasons for gratitude, but they are not substitutes for a daily relationship with Him.

Spiritual passion does not sustain itself. We must continually make room for God's presence through prayer, worship, His Word, and obedience. Each morning presents a new opportunity to surrender ourselves to Him and allow the Holy Spirit to renew our passion.

Don't allow yesterday's fire to become today's ashes. Keep the altar of your heart burning.

Reflection Question:
What daily habits are keeping your spiritual fire burning, and what distractions may be slowly extinguishing it?

Today's Application:
Before checking your phone or beginning your daily responsibilities, spend a few moments in prayer. Surrender your plans, thoughts, and decisions to God, inviting Him to renew your passion for His presence.
