Acts 2:3

2:3   Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

Interpretation:
        So after the sound of rushing wind, suddenly each one of them started to speak in different languages.  This has always been a little confusing to me with the "divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them"  what does that mean?  Well I don't think it was a floating flame above each ones head, but I may be wrong, but that just gives you a funny visual picture :)  I understand that there were different languages "divided tongues" that each one spoke, but what about the phrase "as of fire"???  the only thing I can gather is the verse in Hebrews that says "our God is an all consuming fire"  but that doesn't clear the issue up for me, so... It says "as of" so that means it was like a fire... so maybe the apostles were filled with the Spirit and then started speaking, and just kept speaking for a good while.  Because when I think of a fire on something that is able to burn, the fire just keeps growing.  So maybe that is what the phrase "as of fire" means but I don't really know.  All I do know is that the Spirit came and they spoke in different languages declaring the works of God.

Application:
      I pray that God would set me on fire for Him and that the flame would keep growing!  I know that the fire in me is kindled and growing right now and I pray that it would continue.  I know that one thing I will continue to do is the blog devotions, because it is great accountability and it is a tangible goal and way to dig into the Word.  And the fuel to the fire is the Word.  Thanks Pastor G!!!
