Sleeping Through Fires?
Echidnas have an amazing ability! Instead of running from wildfires, they bury themselves into cool soil and go into a hibernating sleep called torpor. Their body temperatures are lowered, and their breathing and metabolism slows down. They survive the fires by sleeping!
This reminds me of the promise in Isaiah 43:2-3, "When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God.."
When fiery trials come into your life, don't run. Bury deep into the promises of God and rest in His Word and character. When you do this, you will survive the fire and come out like refined gold. You will be better off having experienced the faithfulness of God and His Word.
