” FOR THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT, AND WHEREVER THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM. ” 2 COR. 3:17
” AND THE LORD – WHO IS THE SPIRIT – MAKES US MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM AS WE ARE CHANGED INTO HIS GLORIOUS IMAGE.” 2 COR. 3:18
The Lord has given each of us a glorious gift. He has given us each the glorious Holy Spirit who lives within us. How many of us think of the Holy Spirit during the day? What credit do we give the Holy Spirit in our lives? Do we ever visit with the Holy Spirit? He is not just a tool the Lord has given us to accomplish things in this world. 2 Corinthians tells us that the Lord is the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a thing but a person. The Lord promises to be with us in our times of trouble, needs and sorrows. He promises to go before us when we need him as our leader. He does this by living within us in the person of the Holy Spirit. It is sometimes very easy to forget about the Holy Spirit and who he is. But, with him we have freedom. With his presence in our lives, we have direction and comfort. We have peace of mind because if we are communicating with him and listening carefully, we are being directed to do things that are wise in nature. He will help us to make the right decisions and stay away from the things and the people who will hurt us. If we recognize him, and do as he tells us, he will continue to mold us into a person just like him. We will live lives on this earth that will reflect his patience and love for others. Others will see how we live which may open doors to conversations about Christ and the salvation message. Let us all take heed of the Holy Spirit and his significance in our lives. We will all be stronger and wiser in the Lord. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
