Ephesians 5:18b: “…Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
As HIS SPIRIT-filled Cornucopia!
Bringing GOD’s fruits within us to fruition should be our soul’s driver, compelling each action.
Much like a cup overflowing with water so our zeal should pour unrelentingly fueled.
As such, do not shrink from this moment at hand!
Rather! Daily serve more
for the LORD till HE comes!
As HIServant still zealous for our KING and striving to daily demonstrate the height of every fruit of the SPIRIT,
Whitney
Devotional: Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Ephesians 5:18b: “…Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
“Continuous Action: In the original Greek grammar, the command uses a present tense meaning “be continually filled” rather than a one-time event.
Indwelling vs. Filling: The Holy Spirit permanently indwells believers at salvation, whereas being filled is a repeated, ongoing experience of surrender and empowerment.”
While we can’t dwell on the past, it can be an excellent teacher.
While we can’t master what we don’t measure, patterns found in our failures AND successes can prove vital to our progress.
So look only to your former days for patterns.
Was past sin repeated? Was it done independent of others or in a group?
Was it with the same people, was it shared and who stood up against the error?
If the same mistakes are happening, master your thoughts then by filling your mind with YESHUA!
Be one who regularly and spiritually measures their own Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control.
Such notetaking will certainly guide our souls closer to HIS presence!
So come LORD JESUS! We long for the day when we no longer will stray from YOUR ways.
May we be a godly witness as a “fruits of the SPIRIT-filled cornucopia”…with each breath!
Amen and amen.
