Keeping with the theme of Fire from yesterday's Spiritual Practice this week we are going to listen to a few songs that reference fire. As you listen throughout the week, consider the different ways that fire is mentioned in scripture. How does the significance of fire change in different verses? How do you connect to the reference in different ways? Today's song is Set a Fire by Jesus Culture.

Scripture: Read Exodus 3:1-4

Read the passage over slowly, prayerfully and attentively a few times. As you do, allow God to highlight a word or phrase- something that jumps out at you personally.

Observations: Think about what is being said, by who, and why they might be saying it the way they are. What is the surrounding context? What other background information do you have? How and where do you see the heart of Jesus in this? Don't make conclusions or applications yet, just observe everything you can.

Application: Now consider how this passage might apply personally to your life. In what way does it speak to your own circumstances? How can it help you? How does it challenge you? How does it call you to love both God and others better? How does this word from God apply directly to your day-to-day life and how are you leaning to follow Jesus?

Prayer: Now that you’ve read and reflected on God’s word and begun the process of application in your life, simply talk to God about it all. Share whats swirling in you head and heart, allow space to listen for what the Holy Spirit is wanting to say to you in return as well.
