Week 22 - The Journey Day 6
"After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened [for him], and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon him." Matthew 3:16
The Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity can not act without our willing cooperation. As I sat with the baptism of Jesus this morning, John did not think he should be baptizing the Messiah. Jesus speaks with authority to John and John allows, willing cooperation, his baptism. Only then can God act in our lives, He speaks, we listen, we respond with love, God acts.
The Spirit of God can move mountains but not without our cooperation. The gentleness of God as He moves amongst us. Listen to God as He speaks through Jesus, listen to His words and the way He speaks. See His actions, see His movements and His patience as He waits upon us so He can move. Nothing happens without our cooperation, allow that to sink in as you sit with this verse. Come Holy Spirit.
What is God saying to me? Listen to your heart as I give it life.
Dear Father, I see Your gentle nature this morning moving within my world. I see You wait upon our Cooperation and see Your patience as mountain make the decisions to be moved. I thank You Father for nurturing love within, for giving us Your nature of calm in the midst of our daily activities. Speak with authority in our lives so we may respond in the affirmative and see Your Spirit at work. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady Of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
