Nehemiah 9:20 “You gave your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not
withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their
thirst.”
God’s Good Spirit will lead
and teach us in all that is good. The
Holy Spirit is the believer’s gift in the present. Psalm 143:10 tells us “Teach me to do your will for you are my God;
may
your Good Spirit lead me on level ground.”
It is this Spirit that works things for our good. It is in the lonely times,
the times of despair, the times of doubt and the times of regret that we should
tap into God’s Good Spirit to lead us and comfort us and to allow that which
seems to be hopeless into something that is hopeful. The book of Hebrews
declares all things are possible with God, not with man but with God. The
challenge for us today is to not
wrap our minds around where we are in the present while allowing despair and
discouragement to set in and produce immobility but in these times allow God’s
Spirit of Good to abound so much in us that we see what is before us but our faith
in his Good Spirit pushes us above what we see to what we know and transforms
us from immobility to mobility. It’s only in the times of mobility that we can
do the will of God and do it with an “I can do attitude”, better yet not an I
can do attitude but a “I must” and “I will” do attitude. It’s God’s Good Spirit that empowers us to
not just exist in him but to strive then thrive in him. In order to strive then
thrive in him and not just exist in him we must tap into his Good Spirit!
Let’s
pray-Father in the name of Jesus this morning we pray that we remember your
Spirit of Good as we go through our day.
God some things will happen today that we don’t like but it’s your
Spirit of Good that will work even that together for the good, help us today
God to tap into your Spirit no matter what we go through in life today, no
matter what we experience today bless us to remember you Good Spirit and help
us to be grateful for it, In Jesus name we pray, Amen!
Have
a great day that is filled with God’s “Good” Spirit!”
Juanita
