Devotion: Day 1

Day 1: Choosing Your Influence

Reading: Ephesians 5:15-21

Devotional: Every day we live under the influence of something—our emotions, culture, stress, or the Holy Spirit. Paul's command is clear: "Do not get drunk on wine...instead, be filled with the Spirit." This isn't about a one-time experience but a daily, ongoing surrender. Like a sponge absorbing water, we must saturate ourselves in God's presence through worship, prayer, and His Word. When life squeezes us, what pours out reveals what we've filled ourselves with. Today, examine what influences control your decisions, words, and actions. Are you yielding to divine control or worldly pressures? Choose intentionally to empty yourself of sin and invite the Holy Spirit to fill every area of your life.
