Jump in the Fire!

Day 6- I'm thinking of that old Metallica tune, "Jump in the Fire!", or rather "Jump in the Fi-yaa!" Yeah... It's tough having time on your hands. Alright, here's why I'm thinking of that. I was reading Habakuk 2:12-13 today, and I read the following: "Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." How many cities can we name that are known for their sin? Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Daytona Beach, Green Bay (ok, that's a Minnesota joke), not leaving my own Minneapolis out of the line-up. That's just a start. We didn't even get to foreign cities like Amsterdam, Bangkok, etc., etc. The glory of the Lord is a visable event. It went before the Isrealites. How can his glory cover the earth, if it doesn't go before us? How can it go before us, if we don't go labour in the fire? 1 Corinthians 9:14 says: "Even so the Lord has commended that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel." If we're out preaching the gospel it should be our living. We should not have to rely on filling our time up with a regular "job", unless that regular job is the mission field we are called to. Time is too precious to sit goofing off and living each day as though you have 50,000 more. We don't know. We must jump in the fi-yaa!!!
