Good Reminders in Our Day

Do me a favor, today. Take a look at Psalm 42:1 & 2.

Just as a car can only drive with gas in its tank, so I can only walk with God when my spirit is filled up with Him. I NEED to fill up with the Holy Spirit! Do you realize how vital it is, how that should be a big part of our day? Pray for it, ask for it, and not just once - but throughout our day.

I am running on "empty," when the warning signs flash in life, and the only way to "drive" (to actually WALK WITH GOD) is to fill up.

Our journey to be filling up in the Spirt (by reading the Word and continuously praying for God's will to be done) begins NOW. Today. Right here. As you step up and out. As we daily encounter school, work, or people in our household. My chances to do God's will should not be passed-up.

It's best to take the back seat, to not try and control the outcomes in life, and to give outcomes over to our Lord. Allow HIM to chose the outcome - for all those things we worry about.

To be under the influence of the Spirit... is the daily choice I must make. People on the outside will see this! They will see God!

Read Galatians 5:16.

A car can not be running on fumes. It's not a matter of someone being more spiritual... but rather, it's a matter of having a "full tank" in our Lord.

We may procrastinate in many things. Don't let God's will be one of them.

  1. Amen! I needed to here that today as I'm out here on the road driving the girls around. Thanks for the exhortation.
