Eventually it will overflow

by Bruce Wadd

In our home we use bottled spring water for normal drinking. Sometimes our water dispenser will leak, only slightly, so we need to put a small glass underneath to catch the drips.

Without thinking any more about it, the glass does its job. Several days later, however, there is a pool of water on the floor – the glass is now overflowing!

Constant dripping caused the overflow, but if you had to sit and watch the process you wouldn’t see any noticeable change.

Sometimes our lives are like that! Change doesn’t necessarily seem to be evident, but constant and regular ‘dripping’ of the Holy Spirit causes our lives to begin to overflow and reflect His influence.

“Be filled instead with the Holy Spirit, and controlled by Him.” Ephesians 5:18

TODAY, let the dripping continue!
