Fire blazed forth from the lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.

they disobeyed the lord by burning before him the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. 2So fire blazed forth from the lord’s presence and burned them up, and they died there before the lord.

Oh how awesome it would have been there to see the Lord’s presence, and terrifying.
Then Aron’s sons didn’t follow the Lords instructions perfectly and died right there in front of everyone.

The Lord is awesome and all powerful, why do we not follow his commands perfectly to see his awesome presence in out lives. I think we get satisfied with the little glimpses of His glory and become spiritually arrogant to a degree and feel all good about ourselves, just a thought.

Oh Lord God, May I allow you to purify my heart so I may have your power and presence in my life to follow you more closely every day.

In Jesus name,
Amen
