5.27.11

John 16:15 All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I say, 'The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.'

My Thoughts

When Jesus left this world he sent the Holy Spirit down to live inside of us, to teach us and to guide us.  Right here is says that the Holy Spirit tells us whatever he receives from Jesus.  We hear the prompting of the Holy Spirit all the time! Yet so often we don't listen. Sometimes the Holy Spirit is quite so quite, he is this faint nudging to do good.  Sometime he is much louder. We need to be tuned in to the Holy Spirit so that we know what Jesus wants for us... whats us to do for him.  If Jesus himself were standing beside us in body, and we knew it was him... we would go about doing what he ask!!  If a co-worker had been ugly to us and Jesus said "Turn the other cheek and go be good to your co-worker." We would, don't you think? We would go our of our way to do what Jesus ask us to do.  Jesus sent the Holy Spirit so he could be with us all the time, just as if here were standing right beside us.  We need to listen!  We need to ask and be still and hear what Jesus is telling us.  The thing about listening to the Holy Spirit is that Jesus would never ask us to do something that was not good for us, never!!  Jesus has only our best interest at heart.  We can only benefit from that small, still voice. Often we wish we had an instruction book to life... we do!  And we have with us all the time a voice that tells us just how to use it.  We need to take advantage of that wonderful resource!
