Good morning…
Two segments of Scripture quietly flow my way in the early morning hours of this brand new day.
Dear friends, keep building on the foundation of your most holy faith, as the Holy Spirit helps you to pray. And keep in step with God’s love, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to show how kind he is by giving you eternal life (Jude 1:20-21, CEV).
My deepest prayer is that we each keep building on the firm foundation of our faith. This new day, may the Holy Spirit help us to wholeheartedly pray. Let us keep in step with the love of God, privately and collectively. Will we wait expectantly for Jesus to show us new expressions of his gracious kindness? Today and each day, our living Lord gives us a full measure of eternal life. With each deep breath, eternal life fills our lungs. Do you sense it?
Every moment of this ordinary day, might we prayerfully access the Holy Spirit power that raised Jesus from the grave? Jesus was taken up to sit at the right side of God, and he was given the Holy Spirit, just as the Father had promised. Jesus is also the one who has given the Spirit to us, and this is what you are now seeing and hearing (Acts 2:33, CEV).
Today, may we see and may we hear glimpses of God’s generous Spirit growing strong in us.
