and I went to the K-zoo museum with our kids and tossed everything we needed
into my big bag. Unfortunately, the cup that was in my bag SPILLED out all of
the orange juice contained inside and ruined my phone(so if you tried to call me
yesterday I won't get your message). When Rob came home from work, somehow (not
sure how this one happened) he SPILLED the BIG bag of dog food all over our Sun
room floor. Then at dinner, after finally JUST sitting down, Reese SPILLED her
blender drink that accompanied her taco on Taco Tuesday. So, this morning as I
reflected on my day yesterday, I decided to spend my time with God seeking what
his word has to say about "SPILLS/SPILLING/SPILLED."
Spilled means .......poured out; shed...to allow or cause a substance to fall
out or run out of a container.
There are actually many verses I read and could focus on having to do with
"pouring out or shedding," but I want to focus on one....Psalm 62.
"My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
POUR OUT ( SPILL OUT....allow your thoughts and feelings to run out of your
body/heart/mouth) your HEARTS to HIM,
for God is our refuge.
Lowborn men are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie;
if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
Do not trust in extortion
or take pride in stolen goods;
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard;
that you, O God, are strong,
and that you, OLord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done."
May I encourage you to make time each day to SPILL/POUR out your hearts to God.
Get it all out to the One who loves you, cares about you, hears you, knows what
is best for you and knows the plans he has for you. Journal, cry, sing, write,
talk ..do whatever you need to to spill out your heart to him. After you've done
that, may I encourage you to end with the words the Psalmist gives us right
before telling us to pour out our hearts....the words,
"TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES..."
Blessings from Bombadil............The home of many spills..... Kristy LInk"I
will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that
through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on
account of me." Phillipians 1:25 & 26
