0860. FALSE FIRE.

FALSE FIRE.

Isa_50:10, Isa_50:11.

Learn here that-

I. The difference between the false and the true fire is real. The false is self-made. "Ye have kindled." The true is from above.

II. The kindling of a fire reveals a need felt. Implying darkness, danger.

III. The fire of man’s kindling is most uncertain. Sparks, fitful, untrustworthy.

IV. Those who walk in the light of their own fire end in misery. "Lie down in sorrow."

V. The way out of darkness is very plain.

1. "Trust in the Name of the Lord."

2. "Stay upon God."
