As we are seeking God for his equipping in the various places we find ourselves? I want to encourage us all in our pursuit of being filled with the Holy Spirit to have the power from above rather than just human power in demonstrating God’s love.

Eph 5:15-18
Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.

So often life is consumed in getting our projects or responsibilities done. Working to pay the bills. Doing the wash only to get them dirty again. Going to the store to stock up on what we have consumed, or a thousand other tasks.

What if, in some small measure, we carved out some time and energy to be a blessing in some small way, for someone else?
What if we decided to do some act of kindness in order to represent God’s heart to a hurting world? After all the scriptures says “For God So Loved the World ( people ) that He Gave”, so wouldn’t it be fitting for us to do the same?

While at a Starbucks, at 6:30 this morning, I find a reminder of a discipline I have mastered and lost so many times. “Solitude & Quietness”

Part of my time lately has been to reread A. W. Tozer. In my early days as a new Christian, I would read his words during my 15 minute breaks when working as a mechanic, and then go back to the shop floor and meditate on his words for the next 2 hours of work. It was some of the richest times of my life. God was rebuilding my life from the ruins of my own choices.
