Promise of My Father
Beloved,
We have just come through the season of Lent — the Last Supper, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday.
So the question is: what’s next?
“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49)
This is what comes next.
Jesus told them to tarry to wait, until they were clothed with power from above.
For us as believers today, we already have access to the Holy Spirit, with us and in us.
But in this season, let’s be intentional about Him. Let’s walk with Him more closely each day.
How He Helps Us
1. He leads you in the way of righteousness
Live a life led by the Spirit, not by impulse or the flesh.
2. He gives you power to change
True transformation comes from within, through relationship. He shapes us to become more like Christ.
3. He brings abundant life
When we are connected to Him, the source of life, we gain wisdom, guidance, and the ability to make right choices daily for a better tomorrow.
Tree of Life
Think of a tree in blossom, life flowing from the roots, through the trunk, into the branches, and out to the leaves.
That is what life in the Spirit looks like. Let the Holy Spirit flow through every part of your life body, soul, and spirit.
One thing
If you can do just one thing each day, let it be this:
Tarry.
Wait. Linger. Be still.
Patiently make space for His voice, His guidance, and His presence.
Before you start your day, and throughout it, take moments to connect with the Holy One.
He is waiting for you.
May you grow, little by little, in making time for the Holy Spirit — until your life overflows with the abundance that comes from walking with God.
Because without Him, we can do nothing.
Bless the Lord.
And as the Lord lives, may He continue to show us mercy by His grace to the very end.
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah
— Psalm 46:10
