Set Afire

IF.. you happen to be at Glacier Point in Yosemite

~~and~~

if happens that the usual December and January snowmelt wasn't too great

~~and~~

there's now sufficient snowmelt in a two-week period in late February
~~so~~
the earth lines up to the sun at a very specific angle

~~and~~

it is dusk

~~and~~

it's not stormy or even cloudy

THEN you might be blessed enough to see one of God's spectacular events: The Horsetail Fall changes from a waterfall into what looks like a firefall. It's breathtaking!

Here's a very short video of it:

Man is a copycat. From 1872-2968, the owners of Glacier Point Hotel would shovel embers from the Camp Curry's campfire down the waterfall, causing a man-made firefall. It became a tourist attraction.. and fueled the hotel owners' income. Yosemite finally stopped the custom, but many people now deny that the firefall is a real phenomena of nature.

Isn't that like Satan? The Imitator copies, takes credit, and then convinces us to believe what isn't true.

I want God to touch me in this special way--to thaw my heart, to wash me with Living Water, to set me afire and burn away the dross so my heart and soul are ablaze. I want others to look at me and not see a copycat, but to see the Creator's work and turn to Him.

So I look back. It means I have to wait for His timing, to be where He wants me to be, to turn my face toward Him even when it is seeming like the dark is going to envelop me.Because it is only then that it's not my will, but His.
IF only I were good at waiting...
