Reign in life

‭Romans 5:17 NIV‬
[17] For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

Notice the change in the reigning entity:  Adam's sin allowed death to reign, but Christ's death allows us to reign.

Father, thank you for the opportunity to reign in life.  Jesus, thank you for your example for us to follow.  Holy Spirit, please teach me how to reign in life.  I love you.

Drinking the Spirit

‭1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV‬
[13] For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 

I want to learn how to drink the Spirit.

Father, I am so ignorant.  I don't know how to drink the Spirit, but I want to. You promise to give wisdom generously to those who ask.  Holy Spirit, please teach me how to drink.  Lord Jesus, I want to be filled with the Spirit like you.  I love you.
