KTD                                    The Spirit-filled Life                              Day 16

Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. John 14:23

It’s starting to become clear that this life operates on love.  It’s love that motivates us to live for Christ and with Christ.  It’s hard to obey someone we don’t love.  We can, but it’s not easy.  The best way to love Jesus is to love who He is, what He says, and why He says it.   We don’t think about it but to believe Jesus, we must love Him.  To obey Jesus, we must love what He says and why He says it.  It’s all key to living ithis Spirit-filled life.  We entertain the Holy Spirit; we welcome the Holy Spirit because we love Jesus and we love what Jesus gives us through His Holy Spirit.  Get it?  We believe, and we behave, because we love the love, life, and light Jesus brings us by His Spirit.  This isn’t a mere emotional thing.  This is a value thing.  When we value the life and love that Jesus offers us, that’s the moment we start living the life Jesus gives us by His Holy Spirit.   Who or what offers you anything better than Jesus does?

The Kitchen Table Devotional

King Dave Day 38

Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?” 27 The people answered him in accord with this word, saying, “Thus it will be done for the man who kills him.”

 1 Samuel 17:26-27

Don’t accept the same excuses as the world around you.  Look at how David describes this giant; he’s a Philistine, a reproach, and uncircumcised.  Goliath was nothing more than an ignorant bully.  You don’t have to fear the same things everyone else does when you’ve got God’s word on life.  Not once does he mention this giant’s size and armor.  This guy is a reproach who needs to be put in his place.  Instead of running from your reproach, let God’s revelation become your reality.
