Tanking Up in the Morning
On the Day of Pentecost, "they were all filled with the Holy Spirit," but they were accused of being filled with wine. I am looking to how I may "tank up" every morning, and to keep "topping off" throughout the day. Ephesians 5:18-21 comes to mind: "...be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ toGod, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ." Like being filled with wine, being filled with the Spirit affects how I see things, how I talk, how I react, etc. Thank God He does not leave me on my own to conjure up my own will-power (which for some of us, just doesn't go very far). But to daily invite God to do an act of God in me and through me, and then watch Him go...is a blast!
