What
Are You Filled With?
(Written by Robert Schmidgall)
"The Scriptures often exhort us to be filled with godly virtues -- which
means what? How do we know if we are "full of goodness" (Romans 15:14), for
example?
"Think a moment about a water-saturated sponge. If we push down with our
finger even slightly, water runs out onto the table. We immediately know
what fills the interior pockets of the sponge.
"The same is true of ourselves. We can tell what fills us on the inside by
what comes out under pressure."
(Written by Robert Schmidgall)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law.
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and
desires. If we live by the
Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit."
Galatians 22-25
Life is hard . . . but God is good.
Life is unpredictable . . . but God is sovereign.
Life is unfair . . . but God is just.
Life is short . . . but God is eternal.
