John 3:34  For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. (NIV)

We are as filled with the Holy Spirit as we want to be. 

Yesterday we pondered this question: “How would your life differ if you were filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit?”

The day before, we considered this idea: “Morning people give themselves advantages over those who linger longer in slumber. They can think without interruption. They can more clearly hear the voice of God. They can pray without distraction. They can move into their days with focus.”

Suppose you moved into this day having heard from God, prayed without distraction, and focused on the most important tasks of the day. What if you took Mary’s advice found in John 2:5: “Do whatever he tells you”? 

What if you asked our Father in heaven to fill you with his Holy Spirit, to empower you for whatever lies ahead, and to direct you in the way you should go? Do you think God is interested in answering this prayer? This is a Pass/Fail question. This is the kind of prayer God loves to answer with a heaven-resounding, “Yes!”

A heaven-resounding Yes leads to earth-shaking results. 

– Who wants to shake things up a bit? 
– Who wants to build a better world?
– Who wants to live life in full adventure mode today?

Remember James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” 

Filled, empowered, and directed lives overflow with God’s knowledge, wisdom, and guidance. Help me understand what drawbacks you might see. 

This is no day for tipping toes in the pool to see how cold the water is. This is a day for cannonballs into glory. This is how we pray when we want to maximize our story.

I will ask God our Father to fill me to overflowing with his Holy Spirit.

Our Father, please fill me full to overflowing with your Holy Spirit. Empower me for all that is before me. I yield the controls to my life to you. Direct my steps. Shape my thoughts. Place your words in my mouth. Use me in whatever manner you see fit to build a better world. Amen.

Daily D – Job 8:2-7

Job 8:2-7
“How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
And though you started with little,
you will end with much.”

Daily D – Job 1:9-11

Job 1:9-11 Satan replied to the LORD, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

Daily D – Psalm 145:17

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.

Daily D – Psalm 139:1-6

Psalm 139:1-6
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Daily D – Psalm 130

Psalm 130
From the depths of despair, O LORD,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.
