Not Alone
Today’s Reading: John 14:15-18
Focal Verse: 14:18
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
Have you ever had someone pose this question to you: If you were alone on a desert island, what three things would you want there with you? Sometimes, as a believer, it feels like we are on a desert island. But we are never alone.
In this passage, Jesus is promising the most wonderful gift: His very Spirit living in the hearts of believers. Because of His Spirit, we are never alone:
-when fighting temptation
-in times of trials
-in sorrow
-in ministering
-when needing wisdom and truth
-when our faith is weak
The list goes on.
Jesus – died for us, put His Spirit in us. Grace upon grace.
Make your own list of the times when you realized you were not alone. Spend time in thanksgiving for this precious gift.
