Respite For the Weary
Friday
Picture: Vessel (pouring out)
Scripture: 1 Kings 17:7-16; 2 Corinthians 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:6-8; Philippians 2:16-18
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
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:
So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see (Jesus), for he was about to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today." Luke 19:4-5
Dear Lord,
First of all, we ask for the same kind of curiosity as Zacchaeus. Give us a desire to know you! Thank you for your desire to meet with us! As we sit with you, please change us from the inside-out with your intentional love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
