Obedience is the
key. It opens the door to allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life. Obey
God the Father—and get a gift. The Holy Spirit. What a great gift! We couldn’t
ask for anything more in life—the ultimate gift. Everyone likes to open a
neatly wrapped gift—either ripping off the paper…or carefully unstrapping the
package and neatly folding the paper. Then there is the gift—ahhh! A wonderful
surprise! Maybe it is just what you wanted…or thought you wanted. For a little
girl—a precious baby doll or dress-up clothes. For a boy—a monster truck or
transforming vehicle. For a teen or even an adult—an electronic gadget. Whatever
the gift, does it compare to the Holy Spirit? God’s gift is free—no strings
attached—no gift expected in return. God the Father loves us so much that first
gave us His only Son to die on a cross—or tree—in a humiliating death as a
sacrifice for our sin. Then He gave us the Holy Spirit to remind us of His first
gift and to guide us in our daily walk—the way we live. Hopefully that
lifestyle will be in a way that is pleasing to Him. A lifestyle of obedience—following
His teachings and His commandments. Those ten commandments (Exodus 20:2-17)
that were given to Moses still are appropriate for today to guide us in our
relationship to God and to other people. Are you obedient in those basic
commands?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—guide us today in all that we think, say and do that our lives
would be in obedience to God the Father’s expectations—His commandments for
daily living.
