Summary: To make the most of the time we have left and bring harmony to all your relationships, walk in wisdom, God's Will, and in the fullness of the Spirit.
When we allow the Holy Spirit to influence our lives, He transforms all our relationships. He brings harmony in the church. He brings harmony in our homes (Ephesians 5:22 – 6:4), and He even brings harmony at work (Ephesians 6:5-9).
A teacher once asked her students to list what they thought were the 7 present Wonders of the World. The students cast the most votes for: 1) Egypt's Great Pyramids; 2) Taj Mahal; 3) Grand Canyon; 4) Panama Canal; 5) Empire State Building; 6) St. Peter's Basilica; and 7) China's Great Wall.
Most of the students were quick to decide, but one girl was having trouble with her list. The teacher asked her about it and the girl admitted that she couldn’t make up her mind about the 7 wonders, because there were so many.
So the teacher said, “Tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”
The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are: 1) to see; 2) to hear; 3) to touch; 4) to taste; 5) to feel; 6) to laugh; and 7) to love. (getSynergized Newsletter, July 27, 2003)
Oh, when we can feel and laugh and love together that truly is a wonder that far outshines any other wonder! And it’s a wonder that comes only when we’re under the influence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
My friends, let’s make the most of the time we have left. Be wise and understand God’s will. That is to say, be filled with God’s Spirit and experience the harmony that only He can bring to all your relationships.
As we close our service, would you make this your prayer? Sing it with me:
Spirit of the Living God,
Fall fresh on me.
Spirit of the Living God,
Fall fresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the Living God,
Fall fresh on me.
