Fire.
Something about fire is both terrifying and mesmerizing. We can’t look away as wood rapidly disappears into leftover, charred carbon particles.
Fast.
What am I doing? What is my motive? What are the construction materials of my priorities?
One Day.
Vainglory will be vaporized. Pride will be scorched. Man-made religious systems will burn to the ground.
Self-centered ambition will be torched. Nations will collapse. Money will turn to ash.
Stocks and bonds, houses and boats, cars and lands will slip through our grasp.
Gone.
On what foundation am I building my life?
“Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value.” (1 Corinthians 3:12-13)
