Spirit Come Upon Me

Scripture 1 Sam 11:6 Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused.

Observation: There are things in this world that make me angry, like homosexual marriage, the teaching of evolution, cult religions and all of these things are against God. So is it the spirit of the Lord that convicts me and arouses my anger or is it just my anger? There is plenty of things that get me angry which have nothing to do with the nature of God, mostly about me. I believe the items I mentioned is because the Spirit of God is upon me. Every time I hear or see these detestable things, which in this day is quite often, I get angry and feel bad there is nothing I can do. If God’s Spirit is upon me, maybe there are things that I can do if I ask for wisdom. Maybe it’s time for more than anger, it’s time to be a part of the solution to glorify God.

Application: Don’t just pass off these moments of anger as a helpless victim, but ask the Spirit what it is I’m supposed to be doing. God does everything for a purpose if we stop and ask Him what He desires us to do in a situation He will guide us. I need to stop being so passive and ask for courage to change what God desires me to change. If God’s Spirit is upon me there is nothing I can’t do.

Prayer: My God I want to make a difference for you. I’m surrounded by sin each day and do nothing but complain. Get me in the game Lord and may your spirit show me what You desire me to do. I’m here as your servant fill me with Your Spirit and have me serve.
