I love that song by Need To Breathe!!! The chorus says "This is my desire; consume me like a fire 'cause I just want something beautiful to touch me. I know I'm in reach. I am down on my knees, and waiting for Something Beautiful."
The picture above actually came from my neighbor, the next blog. A Norwegian who loves posting pictures, and they are really beautiful and interesting. Anyway, this picture reminded me of the scripture found in Hebrews 4:12, 'For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.' Icesicles are beautiful, but to be touch by one sends discomfort and could lead to piercing pain by its sharpness. It also transforms with every lost drop as the sun shines upon it. May the word of God humble us, revealing our Lord in all His Majesty and Wonder. May it cause us to get excited about the work He is doing in our hearts to be made like Him. Looking at the icesicles and singing the words of Something Beautiful causes me to want more of God. Let the waters rise so I won't leave Your side.
God, consume me with your refining fire today. Cause me to fall before in praise. Help me to step outside myself and rely on You. I would drown in this big ocean if you weren't by my side. Thank YOU for loving me and holding me up. I pray that each time I open your word your Spirit floods my soul and changes my heart; reminding me I am no longer a slave to sin, but righteousness through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come Lord, Speak Lord, Make me into Something Beautiful!
