A SPARK
Today's reading: Haggai

"So the Lord sparked the enthusiasm of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, Jeshua son of Jehoadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of God's people. They came and began their work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God." Haggai 1:14 NLT

If you were deep into the church in the 1980's. you probably heard this song at least once--or then thousand times...

It only takes a spark
To get a fire going
And soon all those around
Will warm up with it's glowing

That's how it is with God's love
Once you experience it
You'll spread His love to everyone
You'll want to pass it on

This song comes to mind each and every time I read about the stirring Haggai and the people had towards doing the Lord's work.

I'm praying for a spark.

One that starts in me.

Moves in my home.

Spreads to my church.

Circulates into my town.

Catches my country off guard and stirs it to make changes.

I'm praying God sparks something in me--something little that turns into something huge.
