Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Of all the many gifts God gives us, the gift of his presence in us through his Holy Spirit is among the most precious.

The Spirit's presence makes us God's temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).
The Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God when we pray (Romans 8:26-27).
The Spirit helps us overcome the pull of our flesh (Romans 8:13-14).
The Spirit gives us strength in our inner being (Ephesians 3:16).
The Spirit transforms us to become more and more like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).

The Holy Spirit is heaven's living witness within us, given to us to help us live for God. Oh, what a great gift!

My Prayer...

Father, thank you so much for your Holy Spirit, who is now interceding for me as I pray. Please strengthen me through your Spirit as I seek to live a holy life dedicated to you. Dear Father, I yearn for the Holy Spirit to transform me daily to be more like your Son in character, compassion, righteousness, and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
