God is pouring His love and power into the world, and He’s doing it through His people. Though it’s not always easy, it sure is fun! This is a continuation of my post on living “The Poured out Life,” which I started a couple days ago. You may want to check out the previous post to get set up for this one.
God said about Moab in Jeremiah 48:11, “…he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel…” For God, this seems to be a problem. That’s why in verse 12, God said He was going to send the tilters to break Moab open, so that he would indeed be poured out.
Here’s what I’m thinking…we need to be emptied, so that we can be filled. God wants to empty out of you and me all that He has deposited in us, then He wants to fill us up again. There is a divine flow: empty – fill, empty – fill, that all of God’s people should be experiencing.
So, how about it? How about being emptied from vessel to vessel? Come on, that totally describes our nature as children of God. It is our honor to live poured out lives, where we are indeed being emptied.
