Day 10: Empty Yourself to be Filled

Come Before Him in Worship: Draw near to the Lord with gratitude. Ponder Christ’s life in you as a power that will mold you into his likeness. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice for him to do all he wants in you today, trusting him to do what is impossible for you. Ask him to make you willing and able to give him your all.

Reflect: Two opposite things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Your own “life” and the life of God cannot fill your heart at the same time. Your life hinders the entrance of the life of God and must be cast out, so the Spirit of God can fill you. This “life” is the 'self-life', with all its varied forms of self-seeking, self-pleasing, self-confidence, and self-exaltation. As long as you and I are still something, Jesus, Himself cannot be our everything. This is a difficult tenet of our faith! But as we recognize our helplessness to do this, and in humility offer ourselves willingly, the Spirit comes to help! Through God, all things are possible! Recognize the hindrance of the 'self-life'! It sets itself in the place of God, always seeking, pleasing, and honoring itself more than God. And if we let it stay, it will rob us of the fullness of God.

Respond in Prayer: Father, what would it look like for me to walk in complete oneness with you today? Holy Spirit, I invite you to convict me when I do anything from the self-life. I give you access to every part of my life, asking you to reveal to me the mindsets and practices that I utilize in place of trusting you. In your lovingkindness, teach me to allow you to be the source of all things in me.
