Daily devotion – broken vessels
D.L Moody used to say, “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is to keep it always under the tap.”
I love reading the Book of Acts, the story of the birth of the Church on the Day of Pentecost and the only book in the Bible that has not ended. It tells us that such was the joy and hunger of the early believers for the things of God that they met every day – Act 2:46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, Act 2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Is it no wonder that the Church grew numerically at this time?
I want to encourage you to seize the opportunities made available to you each week here at CCSH, to ‘keep yourself under the tap’ as Moody put it so succinctly.
To be able to go more than one occasion, to break the concept that Sunday morning is meeting the quota of Church body involvement, is what would help us I believe, see the Lord adding to the Church daily….I say that because behind the daily gathering and study of God’s Word and prayer, is a hunger that outside the four walls of the Church, preaches the Gospel to the lost as a passion to be followed.
The time is short, let us use the time we have to praise Him, and pray the Lord adds to His Church those who would be saved and let us keep soaked under the tap of God’s blessing.
