It is the beginning of a new week. I'm up early, enjoying a great cup of coffee and watching the sun rise over the roof tops. I peer out a window that looks onto our back yard and the vacant lot behind our house and I see a huge black circle and in the centre of the charred ground is a small remnant of the big cloth chair that looked very comfortable and inviting. The chair had spent the winter in the empty lot in the hood. This big living room chair has been played on and even the gangs spray painted their name on it. It was funny to see that even the abandoned chair couldn't escape the gang's artwork/claim on it in their territory. Anyway, so I see now someone got the urge to burn it. Thankfully that is all they chose to burn! It must have been quite the fire judging from the circumference of the burn marks. Seeing how little was left of this huge chair got me thinking and asking how much will be left of my life efforts when tested by the holy fire that one day we will all face? What can look to be so much will come out to be so little if it wasn't done God's way.
1 Corinthians 3:12-14 "If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward."
