“God reveals his will by setting a torch to your
soul. He gave Jeremiah a fire for hard
hearts. He gave Nehemiah a fire for a
forgotten city. He set Abraham on fire
for a land he’d never seen. He set
Isaiah on fire with a vision he couldn’t resist. Forty years of fruitless preaching didn’t extinguish the fire of
Noah. Forty years of wilderness
wandering didn’t douse the passion of Moses.
Jericho couldn’t slow Joshua, and Goliath didn’t deter David. There was a fire within them.”
--The Great House of God, Max Lucado, pg. 78
