Meditate on the act of someone pouring refreshing purified water from a pitcher into several different drinking glasses. This idea illustrates God’s beautiful work being manifested through us towards others. As a Christian (like Paul in the above verses), we have a continual life-long privilege of filling up and then pouring out.
What are differing factors that might keep you from being a life-giving vessels to others?
In what way is God using you to be His vessel of sacrificial love: in your family, in your job, in your witness to the lost?
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:

Dear Lord,
Please make us strong in the face of opposition. In the heat of the moment, remind us of who you are and then fill us with unshakeable boldness. Truly, we are never alone if we are standing with you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
