Being Empty
Empty - H7386 - empty; fig.
worthless
When we feel empty & when we ARE empty and worthless, God wants to supernaturally pour great value into us.
The value of the vessel does not determine value of its contents
e.g.
Is your vehicle more valuable than the lives you transport in it?
The contents make the vessel valuable also.
- What do you have inside?
No one is so worthless that God won’t fill them and use them gloriously.
Righteousness (working def.) - a position of right-standing & right-relationship with God that is freely given solely through Jesus’s perfect payment for our short-comings and failures.
When we are hungry & thirsty for righteousness God will fill us!
Full & Empty
Have you ever seen or watched the show called “My 600lb Life”?
***This is not at all about fat shaming.
I want to share with you something that I learned that was completely counter-intuitive to me & something that has the potential to change our spiritual life and interactions***
This show focuses on the journey and the struggles of people who are close to or over 600 pounds in weight & need a fairly immediate lifestyle change in order to extend their life.
Here’s what I learned that was so counter-intuitive to me:
Many of the people who are the subject of this show are actually malnourished.
We can be consuming a lot & dying from malnourishment at the same time.
University of Florida Division of Cardiovascular Medicine in an August 2020 article quoted:
In fact, a large burden of malnutrition exists in the overweight and obese population because of inadequate micronutrient consumption and poor food quality.
The World Health Organization states that worldwide, there are almost 2 billion people who are overweight or obese and 462 million people who are underweight, all of whom are considered malnourished(2).

The blessing isn’t the thirst for righteousness, the blessing is being filled by righteousness.
It’s difficult to be filled with what God wants to pour out when we are already full of something else.
Sometimes finding empty vessels (causes the oil to continue to pour from our life-vessel) means we have to look past what the vessel is already filled with and see their need.
The woman at the well was full of relationships and still thirsting for & empty of what she really needed.
We don’t need another relationship, another job, another toy, another vacation, etc. to fill us - We need a deep, personal, consistent relationship with Jesus Christ!
Just One Thing:
Feed on and be filled with the right thing.
We can be full of the most decadent things in life and still be empty of the very thing that actually gives us what we need to live.
Discussion Questions:
What’s the creepiest tech out there?
What did you get from hearing about the relationship between the vessel and the contents & how can you apply that to your interactions with people?
Please read Matthew 5:6 & Matthew 13:44 and share how these verses might connect in your mind and what these verses “say” to you.
If you are willing, please share: What are some things that you find yourself being filled with that aren’t the things that bring you the greatest value and life?
