"You anoint my head with oil and my cup overflows." (Psalms 23: 5)
Recently, I received testimony from Isabelle, who works in a public finance center. During a phone call, she did her best to serve a taxpayer, and told her before hanging up : "Thank you for exist".
God wants you to be filled with His Holy Spirit. Thus, your life will not only be blessed, but it will also overflow others. You will become a source of blessings !
The oil, called anointing, is the symbol of the Holy Spirit in the Bible (Luke 4: 18-19). The priests and kings were anointed with oil as a sign of confirmation in their calling and in their office.
When the oil was poured by the prophet Samuel on the young David, the Bible tells us that the Spirit of the Lord seized him. It was through the Holy Spirit that David was made capable of confronting Goliath and doing many other deeds for God. It was through the Holy Spirit that he composed magnificent Psalms, like this Psalm 23.
Let us be the change we want to see in this world.
Can you imagine a country in which, rather than complaining all the time, criticizing, judging, lowering, devaluing, we would be filled with the Holy Spirit and we would start giving rewarding words to those who Direct, govern, work in our service, share the same streets, the same stations, the same sidewalks ? A country where, filled with compassion, we would do deeds for God by praying for the sick, supporting the most suffering and taking a stand in favor of the weakest ?
We have the capacity to change the mentality of our country. We have the capacity to instill a new culture : that of the Kingdom of God, in which everything is possible and in which everyone is loved and valued, which will open the way to wonderful divine connections.
Let's not wait for the change. Do not promise change. Let us be the change we want to see in this world. I think you're going to become that agent of change. I believe God will use your life in an extraordinary way. This is my prayer for you !
Action for Today
You are called to be a "massive blessing weapon" ! What are you going to do to be a blessing for those around you today ?
