Verse
[Paul said,] "And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there."
— Acts 20:22 tniv
Thought
A rocket is propelled by rocket fuel. A follower of Jesus is compelled by the Spirit of the living God and the love of Jesus. So let's honestly look inside our hearts and ask ourselves this important question: "What compels and propels me?" All other sources of compulsion and propulsion beside the Spirit of the living God will either run out on us or burn us out and destroy us. What is my fuel?
Prayer
Father God, you bought my freedom from sin at the cost of Jesus. You have filled me with your Spirit to empower me and inspire me to do your will. Help me discern the false sources I depend upon to fuel me and motivate me and propel me. I want to be compelled and propelled only by your Spirit and the love of Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
