Week 15 - The Journey Day 6
"The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you." John 14:26
We are not alone on the Journey, Christ promised to give us help, the Advocate. I start each day asking the Holy Spirit for His help with some very simple words, "come Holy Spirit and over shadow me" https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Prayer-to-the-Holy-Spirit.html?soid=1128411136649&aid=e8pg3wbwAII
Jesus was called Rabbi or Teacher, He is not going to stop teaching, life is a great teacher we learn what leads to God and we learn what leads us away. Jesus knows we need help but we have to humble ourselves and ask for it, "Come Holy Spirit." He has always responded with a lesson. We are going to learn, might as well be the right way the first time.
The Advocate also engages our memory, if He is reminding us, He knows that we know we just need a gentle reminder. When we read scripture He will remind us how others have followed God or falling away only to learn a hard lesson. He engages our God given abilities and convicts us of what we know to be Truth. Jesus speaks and we are to listen, the ones that didn't listen killed Him. And in the process they killed themselves.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, there is Peace in the stillness of the morning, You have sent Your Helper to guide us to all Truth. I trust in Your Divine Wisdom for this is how You learned as Son of Man. Prayers for a world ignoring Your voice, who chose the way of perdition and are being dealt a heavy hand. Engage our senses, our memories of what Truth is and turn us back to focus on You. Prayers for those impacted in Louisiana from the storm. Prayers for friends being hit with life. Thank You Father for life lessons may they never fall short of Your glory. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
