DANCE OF FIRE

I wrote the content on this blog with sincere and holy intentions with the knowledge that I had at the time... We live, learn and amend...as errors are exposed and more truths are revealed...

Only GOD is perfect. It's vital that you seek the Lord to expose any errors that you've embraced. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness to you and for what is necessary to do to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

POETRY: DANCE OF FIRE

Flames of fire dance joyfully as dreams of fervor conjure up images of red hot passion for the gusto of life.

Sizzle, spark, explode -

Fireballs light up the sky. Wow! a thunder flash with a clap -

The flames are vivid with the awesome glow of orange colors blended with yellow highlights that accent the blaze.

This display is the bomb torched with a rocket plan. Such rapture has lit our fire. We are dynamite on this journey.

Come on fire, fall on us. Pour your liquid potency. Ignite our souls that we may be engulfed with magnified intensity.

Blow up our hearts. Dance with us....

Sandra

Noah and the ARK-ITECT

Greetings -

Scriptures are from the King James Bible.

Preface:

I have a deep respect for formal education even though I'm an eighth grade dropout who later got a GED.  It is reasonable that experience is necessary to perform in some roles and professions.  And, no doubt, formal education is essential for some job performances.  This post topic, though, is about a man who had no experience to do a task of epic proportions.  That man was Noah.  We are introduced to him in the Holy Bible in the book of Genesis.

Noah and the ARK-ITECT:

One day last year our Lord told me to do something outside of the area of my expertise.  My response was that I didn't have any experience in that area.  Our Lord said, "Noah didn't have any experience building an ark."  I smiled and had to agree.  I then did that which our Lord had told me to do and was well rewarded for my obedience.  I had no experience in that area but when I agreed to obey, GOD provided the necessary help for me to perform the assignment.  Did the assignment go without any glitches?  No, there were some but I stayed the course.  GOD honored my obedience and guided every step of the way.  Not only did I perform the assignment, but upon its completion, my client wrote me a glowing letter of recommendation!  I did my role and GOD did His - after I yielded to His will.

As we visit the book of Genesis, beginning in chapter 5, we read about Noah.  GOD was the ARK-ITEC and supervised the construction of the vessel.  Our MASTER builder, GOD, led Noah, a righteous man, to build an ark of safety for his family and the assortment of animals.  

Noah built to spec, according to the "blue print" designed by Almighty GOD.  He wholly followed our Lord .  Genesis 7:5 says, "And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him."  It is an understatement to say that the ark project was a major task.  It was huge to execute precisely as our Lord directed.  It sounds daunting to me.  And Genesis 7:6 says that Noah was six hundred years old!  We know from the Word of GOD that there is no holy vision without provision from our glorious Father GOD.

How about us?  Are we building arks according to spec, as guided by our ARK-ITECT and MASTER builder, GOD?

After all, it is in Him that we live, and move, and have our being… – The Acts 17:28

AND we're a lot younger than Noah was when he got his ark assignment! (smiles)

    Glad you like it, Mari. Yes, we need our Lord every step of the way!

    @Marijo
    No, I can't really comprehend 600 years old! It is a trip to even think about it, isn't it?

  4. Haha, love this!
    God often reminds me of Moses and how he wasn't a speaker. You see I am really shy and very quiet, not a people person or a speaker. God calls and I go totally depending on Him to provide and He always does.

    Good story.
    Blessings,
    <><

  5. Sandra - Cute title! I always appreciate a little "play on words!" Noah was successful because He followed God's guidance without hesitation, in complete obedience, never questioning God's wisdom. THAT is the key to success - as measured in eternal realms!!

    (OK, I'll have to agree - Noah has a FEW years on me!!)

    GOD BLESS!

    @Child of GOD
    How interesting to know that you are shy. Glory to GOD that He meets us where we are as we yield to and obey Him.

    Thank you for your compliment.

    @Sharon
    Yes, Amen - for why brother Noah was successful.
    I love your, "...as measured in eternal realms!!"

    Ref: The age factor - you're funny, Sharon
