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! Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

AND CAN IT BE?

Romans 5:8 – Devotional

Romans 5:8

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.“

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In this week’s featured video devotional, And Can It Be?, Charles Wesley sums it all up beautifully when he says, “Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?” Take a moment to read through the rest of these lyrics carefully and listen to this worshipful piano rendition by Linda Hightower.

And Can It Be? – Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies!
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love Divine!
’Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.
’Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness Divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
