The Holy Ghost
Do you realize it has been 50 days since Easter? What happened to the time? It seems like Easter was a week ago.
Fifty days after Easter is Pentecost. We received a gift, and no small gift at that. We got the Holy Spirit. So what does that mean? The second chapter of Acts describes the spirit coming like the wind of a storm and flames. It is powerful. In Romans chapter 8, Paul explains:
Romans 8:26 – 27 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
We now have a way, to plug into God with the Holy Spirit interceding for us. We have champion, an interpreter, a very cool gift. Let’s remember to use it.
Gracious God, I invite the Holy Spirit to fill me this day. To bring that whisper of wisdom from you so I may know your will. I stand in awe of the power you unleash and the love you have for your children. I am humbled by the Spirit interceding for me with prayers that are groans too deep for words. Thank you God. Amen
