The Spirit-Filled Family (Meyer)

We are reminded today that the Lord not only wants to fill our individual lives with His presence and by His Holy Spirit, but He wants to fill our family life too. Now, not all of us have the “nuclear family” as it’s called. Not all of us are in the husband, wife, couple kids, two dogs, three cats, picket fence situation. Nonetheless, wherever we are, whatever our situation, the call of the Holy Spirit is the same: In our day-to-day lives, as we gather with those we call our family, we do so around God’s Word, and in Jesus name, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you’re a single mom; Maybe a single dad; Maybe you’re single, period; Maybe you are married with a couple kids, etc; Maybe retired as a couple or retired all alone as a widow/widower; Maybe you’re a college student away from mom/dad for the first time or a college graduate making your way in the world; regardless of where you are, as a Holy Spirit filled Christian, you gather with others around God’s Word and in Jesus name. Why though? Because the Holy Spirit who called you into faith...calls you back to His Word which brought you to faith, over and over again, every single day and He does so individually and corporately too...to give you “The Spirit-Filled Family”.
