Overflowing
Coffee or tea, praise the Lord (Adonai) and prepare for a good day. Believers always focus on what can I do for G-d, which is great. What G-d is looking at first is filling our lives in Him. Let Holy Spirit fill your entire being to overflowing. When we are overflowing in His presence, the devil has no room to be there. When we are fully given to G-d, guess what, we show Him to others in our walk.
Romans Chapter 9 tells us that we are vessels. Think about it. We have an outward shell that is the vessel. Before accepting Jesus (Yeshua) it was empty. The sole reason for our vessel is to be filled. When we received Jesus, Holy Spirit took up residence in us. If a vessel is empty its purpose is not being fulfilled. Holy Spirit fills us up with Him completely and we are able to live a life full of G-d to show outwardly.
Self-check? How is your vessel doing? Too much world in it or the cares thereof? Don't give up. Repent and let G-d fill you to overflowing. Holy Spirit will push all that junk right out of your vessel. Now you can be all you can be for Him.
