Leaking
July 18, 2017
Why did D.L. Moody continually teach about the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit? Because that is a frequent instruction in the Bible. One listener questioned him. “Why is that so important to you?” His response, “because I leak!”
Yes, we all have those days when we leak. Life is hard, circumstances can be cruel. I noted in my Bible margin one day when I was counseling in public high schools. ‘Lord, help me to continue to care. Its so hard when people are cruel.’ Being a strong student advocate meant I took a few lumps.
I was leaking that day. We need to continually pray, “Fill me up Lord, and then Fill me again.
That’s a prayer he’ll always answer.
