This morning in the midst of my week of avoidance and snowballing laziness, I pulled away to reluctantly give God 5 minutes of my time as I ate a bowl of cereal. Spurgeon's Morning and Evening from the morning of August 28th stemmed from Exodus 25:6, "Oil for the light." Basically, the idea is that we need fuel from the Holy Spirit to shine brightly for God in this world. Spurgeon's last sentence resonated with me and definitely gave me the fuel that I needed for this day:
"Truth, holiness, joy, knowledge, love, these are all beams of the sacred light, but we cannot give them forth unless in private we receive oil from God the Holy Ghost." I desperately want to be a source of truth, holiness, joy, knowledge, and love in my daily life...but I can never do it on my own.
"God, help me to draw daily from the fuel of the Holy Spirit, that I may be equipped to bring You glory in every decision I make. Amen."
