For those of us old enough to remember pulling up to the gas station, being waited on by an attendant and saying, “Fill up, please.” Cars, people all need a fill up. Gas, water, food. Yes, physical needs. But ask yourself, ” How is your spiritual well being?” Are you in need of being filled? Yes please! Dig into God’s word. Be reminded of his promises. Be steadfast in your prayer life. Walk according to the Spirit’s leading. God dependance each and every day.
I used to find it hard to understand why Elijah was afraid, in fear of his life after God’s great demonstration and power the day before ( 1 Kings 18:20-40). I get it now. As a human, I am weak. If I walk under my own power, I tire. I worry. I fear. But when I am in the word, being filled, encouraged, reminded, it is God’s power working in me to face each new day. So, yes please! Fill me up, Lord. More of You and less of me!
“Each day I pray for God to fill me anew as I spend time with Him.” (Rebecca Manley Pippert)
