“He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.” (Exodus 35:31 NIV)
Hard-shelled capsules are one of the most efficient delivery systems for medications. Pharmaceutical companies are able to encapsulate specific dosages of drugs in shells that are easy for consumers to swallow. Unfortunately, it is also easy to tamper with capsules. Drug traffickers often fill capsules with counterfeit narcotics--the outer shells are broken and the inner contents are adulterated.
God created us to be an efficient delivery system for His Spirit. Our physical bodies are merely shells meant to encapsulate His wisdom, goodness, and power. However, we are susceptible to tampering. Our lives can be contaminated, diluted, and filled with harmful substances instead of what God intended. Thus, we must submit ourselves to be sealed--made tamper-resistant. This process requires disciplined adherence. Stillness, a commitment to abide in God’s presence, encases us in God’s grace.
Lord, seal me from temptations. Enable me to deliver Your Spirit to those around me.
