Being Spirit-Filled

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“...Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” Acts 9:6

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
So many Christians want to be Spirit-filled, but have they ever asked why God should fill them with His Spirit? I want you to imagine a man pushing a car into a service station. It has no battery in it. The car has four flat tires, a hole in the gas tank, and half the wires are disconnected. The attendant comes out, looks at this rattle trap, and says, “May I help you?” And he says, “Yeah, fill ‘er up.” What do you think that attendant would say? “What for?” would be appropriate. I think God sometimes says, “What for?” to us. Instead, we need to just sign the contract at the bottom and say, “Lord, You fill it in.”

ACTION POINT:
Bow before the Lord, open your hands and say, “Lord, It’s all You. I am nothing but a vessel for You to use. Use me as You will.”
