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:
O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.
Psalm 89:8-9
Dear Lord,
Just as you calm a storm with your powerful command, please come and quiet our anxious hearts. We wait for and trust in your inexplicable peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
