Prayer – Holy Spirit, thank you for graciously leading me, faithfully saving me from my enemies—those I see and those of which I am not even aware. The spiritual world is such an unknown area to me…so I’m glad You are there leading me and teaching me—for You are my God.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May
your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. For the glory of your
name, O LORD, preserve my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of
this distress. Psalm 143:10-11
Meditate. Consider the Holy Spirit’s role and what He is saying.

| The perfect rose... with thorns... it reminds and teaches us. It gives us hope. |
And I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is
the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him,
because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him,
because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon
you as orphans—I will come to you…But when the Father sends the Advocate as my
representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will
remind you of everything I have told you. John 14:16-18, 26
What comforting words of promise. The Holy Spirit will
never leave us…just as Jesus Himself promised…and will teach and remind us
about everything Jesus told us. Wow! I don’t know about you, but I need
reminders now and then to remember the words of Jesus. I actually love it when
I’m writing that the Holy Spirit reminds me about a verse somewhere else—even without
using a search engine. Teaching me—and even as I’m getting older…I am still
teachable. Those reminders from the Holy Spirit are awesome for me. I’m sure
that was especially great for the disciples as they didn’t have the written
form of the New Testament during most of their lifetime.
Are you teachable? Do you listen to the Holy Spirit and
allow Him to lead you forward as David did?
Lead me by your
truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my
hope in you. Psalm 25:5
Verses of Salvation ~ Won't you revive us again, so your
people can rejoice in you? Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us
your salvation. I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he
speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish
ways. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, so our land will be
filled with his glory. Psalm 85:6-9
