There is a river of life that's here , there is a river of grace that's here...your invited to come and swim within...
We have at every moment, every hour, a chance to be filled with The Holy Spirit. You and I have this opportunity as believers to share and embrace this Person. Therefore the verse declares "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." We have been entrusted with a great Deposit, therefore are we diligent or undisciplined trustees of the Holy Spirit? "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is". The will of the Lord is our thanksgiving..."give thanks in all circumstances: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" Therefore it would be foolish to "quench" the Spirit within. The Spirit of God bears witness that we are His. So if we are His, then why not rejoice in this daily and be filled? "Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," Our worship is linked to our "making the best use of the time". Worship starved souls are utterly just that, dry. And dryness leads to unthankful hearts. Thus causing a "debauchery". A debauchery that is foolishly disobedient and miserable. When the Fountain of the Spirit is there to drink and thus being filled...thus making the words of Jesus true. "Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
So our time depicts our heart. We make time for what we love, or whom we love. We worship what we love, or whom we love...
The Spirit HAS been given, therefore we are called to be filled. "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with The Spirit."
Be filled.
