Consuming Fire depicts the worshiper not afraid to embrace the desert season and the Refiner’s fire – focused only on bringing glory to the Father.
“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.” Isaiah 48:10-11
In Matthew 4:1, the word tells us the Spirit drew Jesus into the wilderness (the Hebrew word here also refers to desert). In the wilderness He was tested and tried – refined – and He was victorious and brought glory to the Father.
As we too trust where the Spirit leads us and seek to worship the Father with our lives allowing Him to refine us as He sees fit and praising Him through it all – then we too bring Him glory which He is richly due.
The silk in this image is All Consuming Fire. The colors in it are golden yellow representing joyful praise, orange representing fire, and red wine representing passion.
I pray that you would follow the Spirit as He leads, lay down your own comfort and allow Him to refine you as you press in through worshiping Him with your whole heart.
Oh, I really like this, speaks to me on so many levels. One thing I love are the boots! She has on boots!!!! Plus I love short jackets, these parts may seem frivolous to others, but they are great details to me. 🙂
Beautiful picture Meghan and just as beautiful a message to go with it, and the silk too! I use to hate this part of the walk, but have come to love it knowing that on the other side it will be better. Knowing that my Beloved goes with me makes it all okay.
I love this piece! I think it is a timely word for me right now and I thank you for posting.
Love it! I received two signs (literal signs – you hang on a door) that said “Welcome to My Wilderness” a few years ago. Long story but Holy Spirit led me to a dumpster with a ton of other stuff he gave to me, a new working $100 Rowenta Pro iron too. Anyhow, I’d always associated shame with the desert but He has shown me how important the desert is and how necessary it is to go through it. I find this image so beautiful now and of course the scarf too. I must say the last few years have been tough but my level of trust has risen beyond what I would have ever imagined.
I like, I like, I like…..loving this ‘praising in the desert’ theme! It can be so hard to do sometimes. 🙂
I LOVE this piece of art! It has spoken to me and continues to! I can’t wait for #3!!!!!
