Consider a Stick

Consider a stick.  A stick, by itself, is not very useful.  However, a stick on fire (a torch) is something else.  It becomes light when you can't see through the darkness.  It's heat is comfort when you're cold.  It can cook food to nourish you.  It can purify the water you drink.  It can also be used to set other sticks on fire.

I am a stick.  

God's Word is fire.
