Extinguishing the Fire


Because of drought Colorado is having multiple wildfires. During a TV interview a fire department spokesperson told the reporter, “We can’t get to the fire, so we’re waiting for the fire to come to us.” As a Christian my personality is not to wait, but to try to deflect and extinguish fires before they get to me. However, I can see the wisdom in waiting for the fire to reach me. Paul said, “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one” (Eph 6:16 NIV).
