Consuming Fire

Third Day is a band I knew well and I can remember the first time I played their debut album. I played it loud because that is just the way it ought to be played. I knew that almost immediately.

I always play it loud and sing it loud.
I always play the drums hard against the steering wheel.
I am sure other drivers think I am nuts. I don't care.

It takes me back. Back to when I was on fire.

This time Consuming Fire meant more than usual.

Because I was reminded that His Consuming Fire is in me and will always be in me.

"And yes our God, he is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul"

The ember will always be there, it can never fully go out.

So I sang it loud and could feel the fire in my belly warming up.
