Jeremiah 51:58 The city walls of Babylon – those massive walls! – will be flattened. And those city gates – huge gates! – will be set on fire. The harder you work at this empty life, the less you are. Nothing comes of ambition like this but ashes.(msg)

“He will shake heaven and earth, that only the unshakable may remain: he is a consuming fire, that only that which cannot be consumed may stand forth eternal. It is the nature of God, so terribly pure that it destroys all that is not pure as fire, which demands like purity in our worship. He will have purity. It is not that the fire will burn us if we do not worship thus; yea, will go on burning within us after all that is foreign to it has yielded to its force, no longer with pain and consuming, but as the highest consciousness of life, the presence of God.” -George MacDonald

Let the fire burning in us burn so intensely that it clears away all that is not Eternal, so that we may know Life… God first and above all.

Ephesians 4:30 His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don’t take such a gift for granted.
