Week 19 - The Journey Day 2
"Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region." Luke 4:14
God the Son, in perfect union with the Trinity, did not operate on His own power but in the power of the Spirit. The Son of Man's power is of the holy Spirit, even though Jesus is God, He came to show us how to live, how we can become adopted sons and daughters.
Why? Why does God the Son wait upon His holy Spirit? Obedience to His word. "Then he said to me: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, and not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts." Zechariah 4:6
In our journey with the holy Spirit, He teaches us His word, He teaches us His nature and He gives us the words of everlasting life. As a man, I am nothing, I am like the dew in the morning and gone before you know it but Jesus as a man, shows us truth. His message today and what His life represents is truth and obedience.
In my own why of thinking, I will get it wrong for I will twist it to form to my way of thinking. But if I am willing to submit myself to God's authority then will I comprehend the depth of God and His teaching. Jesus came so we can have life and have it abundantly. Living in the power of the holy Spirit brings about that abundant life. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
What is God saying to me?
Dear Lord God, only through Your word do you shed light into a dark world. In the power of Your holy Spirit we see and hear Your voice so we be faithful servants for You. I pray for the lost, held captive by the other spirit that moves about the world. Release them from the binds if it's chains in the mighty name of Jesus and the power of Your Holy Spirit. It is a spiritual battle Lord and we need Your holy Spirit each day as we go into battle, especially in these times. Thank You for the Your Son's example and we be ever present to You this day, Amen.
