Not on Our Own

Romans 8:9-11; Philippians 1:6

The most important thing to remember when pushing through despair, suffering, and even the simple – powerful – tiredness that comes with everyday life is knowing you are not alone. Jesus understands how difficult perseverance really is, and He would not let those who follow Him do it without help. The Holy Spirit lives in you! Though the body is weak, the Spirit is alive and well! He will continue the “good work” in you until the very end.  

Questions for further thought:
1. Have you been living your life like you have the spirit of God inside you?
2. How does the Holy Spirit play into reflecting God? (Think back to Tuesday’s silver metaphor)  

​Challenge: Take some time today to pray with the Holy Spirit on your mind. Let all supplication fall away, just for today, and pray with all ears. Listen, for at least 10 minutes, and see what comes of it.
