Devotion
Living a Spirit-led life is one of the most important aspects of our relationship with God. The Bible promises us that when we put our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes and lives inside us. Might seem like a crazy thing to imagine, but believe it! God's own Spirit has taken up residence in you. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, the same Spirit that hovered over darkness before the world was created, the same Spirit who fell like fire in the book of Acts—He lives in you!!!!! Jesus said that it was better that He go back to heaven so that the Holy Spirit could come to us. Why was it better? Because everything that Jesus was for His disciples here on earth, the Holy Spirit wants to be for you. But He isn't just there sometimes.. He's available for every single one of us, in every single moment, in every single place, 24/7. The Holy Spirit was sent to be our helper, our standby, our comforter, our encourager, our strengthener, our teacher and our friend. We don't have to live this life for God in our strength and ability; it is the Holy Spirit who gives us the power and the desire to live for God. He doesn't just show us what to do, but when He comes to live inside us, He literally changes us to be like Him and He produces His fruit in our lives (we'll read about this delicious fruit in these scriptures). As you read through these scriptures, think about what life would look like if you involved the Holy Spirit in every moment of it.
