Chaplains Chat
John 14:6 Jesus says "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things....."
The Holy Spirit was sent to be our Counselor, our Comforter, our constant Companion, our Guide and Friend. For those who belong to Him, can be confident and secure in His promise "I will never leave or forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)
We are never left to ourselves. We have a Shepherd who guides and protects us, refreshes our souls, and leads us "beside quiet waters". (Psalm 23:2-3)
As one of our hymns words it:
Who is it tells me what to do, and helps me to obey? Who is it plans the route for me, and will not let me stray? Who is it tells me when to speak, and what I ought to say? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! that's the Spirit of the Lord in me!
Who is it gives me heavy loads, and helps me take the strain? Who is it calls to sacrifice, and helps me bear the pain? Who is it sees me when I fall, and lifts me up again? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! that's the Spirit of the Lord in me.
Who is it shows me what to be, and leads me to the goal? Who is it claims the heart of me, and wants to to take control? Who is it calls to holiness, of body, mind and soul? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me.
My prayer for you today, is that you experience His Presence with you in a very real way, and embrace the joy and peace that comes with that.
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for being our Shepherd, guide and friend. Help us to trust You, and find comfort and rest in Your wisdom, allowing Your Spirit to guide us through the challenging moments in life. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
Chaplain Ron.
