Each day stands before us with its demands for action. Whether it is at work or at home, we have needs and wants that require our attention and effort. Prayer, faith, and gratitude start with God, but what help does He give to face each day? In Ephesians 6, Paul tells us about a set of armor and a weapon that we are issued to join in the fight. Good stuff there! In John 14:27, Jesus tells us of the peace that He alone gives. "Not as the world gives" He says to us as we are given the peace Jesus knew with His Father and in His heart. Probably the most important help we are given each day is the presence of the Lord's own Spirit.
The constant and renewing presence of our dear Holy Spirit helps us and advocates for us as we walk the road of a day. The Spirit makes intercession for us with words and groans beyond our ability to speak or utter in the presence of God. Guidance in decisions, reminders of Scripture, and a sense of God's enduring and steadfast presence in times of trouble and in times of calm come to us from the Holy Spirit. Perhaps most of all, the Holy Spirit whispers often to us, maybe constantly to each of us, in our darkest moments and in the brightest day that God loves you and me, always and forever.
Let me this day, dear Lord, pass on a helping of Your love to all I meet. Amen.
