The Fireman Principle




I thought to myself, while watching a very popular movie about firemen, there is something about them that I like. I realized that I liked them, not because they had super power, but because daily they run into situations that others run out of. They are not in it when it's all good and then, run out when it's bad. They going into it already knowing that things look bad.

While watching this, my mind started to wonder what is it that make the firemen run in after the fire is already hot? God showed me that it's not because firemen are so good, but it's because they're equipped with the right equipment.

As I watched the firemen, it came to me that I was watching the wrong thing. I should have been paying attention to watch they had on.

As Christian, we should be like those firemen. We should have the faith to run into situations that others run out of. If we find ourselves in a fire, we shouldn't panic and jump out of windows. We should go in and handle our business. Not, because we're perfect, but because we're prepared.

The Fireman Principle simply states that we go to church weekly for Bible Study, choir rehearsal and worship, not to become "perfect" but to become prepared. Whenever you have a fire in your life, you are not running around looking for someone else to come and save you, you already have your jars of life.

DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
