Devotional: God’s Fire: Judgment, Truth, and the Urgency of Now

Day 4 – Let the Fire Clarify Your Loyalty

Read: Luke 12:49–56; Jeremiah 23:29

“Is not my word like fire...?” – Jeremiah 23:29

Observation:

God’s Word tests us — not to harm, but to reveal what’s truly there.

In a world filled with competing loyalties and diluted convictions, Jesus’ fire clarifies who belongs to Him.

It's not enough to believe in Him culturally — following Jesus will cost you something: comfort, approval, maybe even relationships.

The fire separates the committed from the casual.

Challenge:

Where is your loyalty being tested right now? How are you responding?

Prayer:

Jesus, You are the fire that purifies and the truth that divides.

Help me choose You — not once, but daily.

Refine my loyalty until I’m fully Yours.

Amen.
