When I
started out on this venture to learn more about the Holy Spirit—especially in
the Old Testament—I had no idea that the Spirit of God had anointed so many
people. They may have only been filled with the Spirit for a short time, but
God was certainly using His prophets, priests, kings and others to speak His
words—to instruct them—to communicate with the Israelites and with us. All Scripture is inspired by God and
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good
work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. This verse reminds me of the Lord’s Prayer…Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew
6:11. Jesus was teaching to ask for daily bread—food—and that can be spiritual
as well as physical. God provided manna for the Hebrew people after they left
Egypt…and He provided spiritual food as well. He does the same for us…sometimes
we just need to ask.
Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, please provide spiritual as well
as physical food for me, my family and friends, today. Give us grateful hearts
and grace to know that it comes from You and help us be willing to share it
generously with others.
