What are you filled with?

What are you filled with?  Sounds kind of like a funny question, have you ever thought about what you are filled with?  We live our lives filling ourselves up with lots of different things from what we listen to, read, watch or even the people we are around.  The reading for today from the New Living Translation reads:

"Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, ¹⁹ singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. ²⁰ And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Paul tells us we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit and what comes out of that, singing psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, and making music to the Lord in our hearts!  I don't know about you but that sounds like the way to spend a life.  What we fill our lives with will determine what comes out of us.  If we fill ourselves up with a bunch of junk then that is what will come out of us.  The junk that we fill ourselves up with will ruin our lives, but if we fill ourselves up with the Holy Spirit our life will be a blessing to others and bring glory to God. 

Dont' forget the last part of the reading either, "give thanks for everything to God the Father" He is our Father who has blessed us with so much don't forget to tell Him thanks!  Have a great day and make it a great week!
