Ephesians 5:18 Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.
By the end of a busy week it's easy to feel a bit drained and spiritually low, a bit like a car when it's beginning to run out of fuel, it starts to splutter and stutter and then conk out. We all know we can't run on empty!
The Lord knows we need replenishing on a regular basis and that's why He tells us to be filled with His Spirit. A more accurate way of saying it, is to be 'being filled', which is a constant filling rather than a one off experience.
So right now, don't even wait till tomorrow, can I encourage us to spend some time in the Lord's loving presence and deliberately lift our hands up to Him and ask Him to fill us up again with His joy and peace, with His hope for good things to come. Let Him fill us up with His wisdom and energy when we're tired. And where we need healing, allow His great grace for healing to flow into all areas of our bodies and minds, and let Him restore your soul. Most of all receive and fill up on His great love because it's His perfect love for us that drives out fear. (1 John 4:18)
The Lord wants to come and constantly fill you up with Himself and with whatever you're running low on. So don't try to run on empty but pull into His refuelling station today where it costs you nothing but some of your time, and come out again fully charged and ready to go.😊
Have a greatly blessed, recharged weekend. x
