Spiritual Reign

What a perfect and rainy day for this blog! His spiritual reign is pouring down on us, as he wants to fill our cup! Yesterday, was my first day back to my weekly Wednesday bible study after a 5 week lapse, due to blizzards and sickness. Oh my goodness!! My spiritual glass is back to FULL and it feels GREAT!!!!

We're doing a bible study by Angela Thomas called "Living Your Life As A Beautiful Offering." Oooohhhh...it's fantastic!! Yesterday, we talked about "when you feel empty, God is calling you to be hungry and thirsty for His rightousness." So true!

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for rightousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6

Yesterday, I also picked up my copy of "The Christian Atheist" by Craig Groeschel and read a chapter in it. The chapter I read was a perfect parallel to our bible study :o) "He promised her that if she had this living water, she'd never thirst again." This was in reference to a Samaritan woman that Jesus met at a water well. She had been through five husbands and was living with the sixth man. But Jesus treated this lady the the utmost respect, regardless of what she had been through. Jesus filled her cup to the brim with His spiritual reign. She was a changed woman because she had FAITH and accepted Him into her life. Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people "Come , see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be Christ?" They came out of town and made their way toward him. John 4: 28-30

So, regardless of what we've been through this week, month, year, or our life, it's never too late to open your Bible and let His spiritual reign fill your cup with His GLORY, HOLINESS, and RIGHTOUSNESS. The best part?!! Jesus doesn't judge you by your past; He wants to live eternity with you :o) How awesome is that?!!
