Dad's Ramblings -- Compelled

"When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit [margin: in his spirit], and testified of Christ."
 
                                                                               Acts 18:5
 
The driving force in Paul's life was sharing the Gospel of Jesus with the unsaved. In another place, Paul wrote, "the love of Christ compels us" (II Cor. 5:14). So the question is, "What am I compelled by? What is the thing that drives my life?" Whether it is my love for Jesus or understanding His love for me, or it is the constraint of the Holy Spirit or my own spirit, I am compelled to serve the Lord Jesus.
 
Today's Thought: Whatever compels my life dictates my actions.
 
Have a "spirit-compelled" day. Love you.
