TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.” Psalm 23:4 ” And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth.” John 14:16-17
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Life is not easy. We are met on every side with events that sometimes come upon us with surprising force. We never know what may happen and will never be sure as to how to handle each situation. Our God in heaven has us covered. Jesus told his disciples before he died on the cross that he would ask God to send another advocate. Up until that time Jesus had been the one who had presented the truth and stood as an example for belief and trust in God. He is the one who stood by the disciples, and all of those who believed, when times became dicey. He was the one that stood up and showed the way and encouraged all to follow in his ways. As he was about to leave this world, he assured them that another advocate was on the way. This one was in the person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been sent to live and breathe through each of us. He guides us in the darkness as he becomes our light. He directs us in times of indecision, and he lifts us up when we are down. He shows us scriptures filled with God’s promises that will re-ignite our fire for the Lord. He helps us to communicate directly with our God in heaven as a hotline for emergencies. He will speak to us with a tiny still voice as he never gets angry or excited. He stays the path and is the calmness we need in the harried life we live. The Holy Spirit (our Advocate) lives in all who believe and trust in Jesus. He is a free gift that we all must respect and use to live the rest of our lives on this earth. It is by the Holy Spirit that we are able to be overcomers in dreadful times. It is through the Holy Spirit that our spirits are lifted up in times of sadness. The Holy Spirit is the third person of God. He is a living and breathing being who knows us and loves us. We must treat Him with respect and trust him as other believers have before us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
