Morning Four: Fill me with Your Spirit today

“Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This “letter” is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.” 2 Corinthians 3:3

Dear Lord, as we rise to meet each new day, please let us be filled with Your spirit. Wherever we go, let us spread love, joy, peace, goodness, and faithfulness. Let us desire to become more like you and to worship you in all we do. Help us desire these things so much more than the sin that entices us. Thank you for always going before us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The following words are a hymn written by Rev. Daniel Iverson after hearing a message about the Holy Spirit in 1926. This is one of the most long-lasting and widely used choruses in Christian worship. Every aspect of the song embodies a simple sincerity.

“The melody encompasses only five notes, with every pitch in its place. The harmonies can be played by a very modestly skilled pianist, and three of the four lines repeat the same nine words. Yet for many, the straightforward petitions of this song draws the worshipper into an attitude of prayer.”

May we find our own melody. May it be the song written for our hearts today.

Spirit Of The Living God, Fall Fresh On Me. Spirit Of The Living God, Fall Fresh On Me. Melt Me, Mold Me, Fill Me, Use Me, Spirit Of The Living God, Fall Fresh On Me.
