NIV Devotions for Women - Week of July 21

God's presence is often symbolized by fire, which can bring both light and destruction, as seen in the biblical promise to guide the Israelites like a devouring fire that judges those who defy Him. Whether contained or uncontained, God's fiery power will shape one's life, offering warmth and illumination for those who serve Him, but burning with justice for those who resist His will.

He Is - Fire

Verse: Deuteronomy 9:3

Fire symbolizes God’s presence and power. God spoke to Moses out of a burning bush and guided the Israelites with a pillar of fire. In this verse he promises to go before them like a devouring fire, judging the nations that defy him.

Fire can be either helpful or harmful. Contained, it provides light, warmth and fuel. Uncontained, it devours everything in its path. One way or another, God will be a fire in your life. If you defy him, he will burn with justice. If you serve him, he will illuminate the path before you.
