Be filled with the Spirit

March 2, 2012

Lord, fill me with your Spirit today. I can’t fix yesterday, and tomorrow seems a long way off.

Today, Lord: Cleanse my heart from the fleshly residue of yesterday’s fallen humanity.
Today, Lord: Scrub my thoughts and motives till they shine with singularity – wanting Your glory alone.
Today, Lord: Wash me and I will be whiter than snow, purposed afresh to follow Your footsteps.

Lord, fill me with Your Spirit today. The tasks ahead are too much. If I must go alone, I cannot go at all.
Today, Lord: I’m not smart enough to know what is best, and not strong enough to choose what is righteous.
Today, Lord: My wife, my family, my friends, my church . . . I am not sufficient for these things, and I know it.
Today, Lord: Or what unfolds in the hours ahead will fade into the abyss of worthless, wasted time.

Lord, fill me with Your Spirit right now. Come, make these 24 hours all You created them to be.Now,
Lord: You know how to ‘give good gifts’ and I am so thankful to be called Your child.
Now, Lord: By faith, I receive the Presence You’ve promised, and delight to know that Your Word is true.
Now, Lord: You are filling my life with peace and purpose and freeing my soul to sing.

Galatians 5:16, 22, Walk then in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of your flesh. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self control.

Christ Follower Husband to Lori Dad to Josh & Austin Dad in Love to Dusty & Cyndi Stage 4 Colon Cancer Survivor Music Executive Red Sox Nation Roll Tide I'm married to my best friend in all the world. She still takes my breath away. After 31 years she still finds ways to amaze me. I'm a father to 2 sons who constantly drive me with their creativity and passion. They are both godly men and brilliant nusicians. I'm looking forward to seeing what they will do with their talents. Who knows maybe one day they'll hire me. I have been in the music business 25 years. Change is the only constant. I still get up in the morning excited about where we can go today. Music still touches the soul. It's still all about the song. Since my diagnosis 6 years ago with Stage 4 Colon Cancer, I've become involved with Livestrong. Everyday, cancer kills 1,500 Americans— one person every minute. This year, more than 550,000 Americans and six million people worldwide will succumb to this vicious disease. One out of three women and one in every two men will be diagnosed in their lifetimes. Who will you wear the yellow for?
