United Devotional: Day 2
The Set-Up:
Have you ever thought, "If Jesus were here on earth right now everything would be better!" But Jesus Himself knew that the best thing for us would be for Him to ascend to Heaven and send the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit shows God's redemptive plan for us and even shares the secrets of God with us. What a friendship! Not only does the Spirit guide us into the truth, but He also shares with us the mystery of a limitless Father, and shows us Jesus.
Did you know there are countless wonderful things God has given us without us having to earn them? I don't know about you, but l want to receive those gifts!
Passage to Read:
1 Corinthians 2: 7-12; Isaiah 64:4
Reflection Questions:
What ways can you point to the Holy Spirit’s leading in your life?
What are some areas you are needing guidance from Him right now?
Prayer Idea:
We can't even imagine the way God is working behind the scenes in our lives and in the world around us. Take a moment and say, “Holy Spirit, I receive You (verse 12).” Then as you pray, begin to ask Him to show you who He is and some of the free gifts He’s given you. Ask for His wisdom and guidance in those areas you were reflecting on. Don't be afraid to express your gratitude!
