FILL ME UP! – Romans 15:13 Devotional

Romans 15:13

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”

Back in my teen age years I worked at a gas station. Those were the days when the gas station attendant would not only pump your gas, but clean the windows check the oil and radiator levels. It was after all a service station.

I was always glad when a customer asked that I fill her up. That meant I was not required to keep an eye on the pump if a customer only wanted a few dollars worth of gas.

All too often we approach the Lord’s filling station and ask for only a partial filling. We are not committed to receiving all that He has prepared to fill our spiritual tanks with. As a result we frequently find ourselves running on empty.

I don’t know about you, but it seems like we live in perilous times when we need to keep our spiritual tanks filled. That means spending quality time in God’s Word and communing with Him in prayer. FILL ME UP LORD!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
