Day 39: The Spirit Glorifies The Son

Day 39: The Spirit Glorifies The Son

Read: John 16:12 - 15

Well, here it is, that time of the year when we turn our clocks back one hour and our sleep cycles get thrown out of balance. Spring forward and Fall back are not the most favored times of the year. Falling back usually signals the oncoming of colder, windier and rainier weather. I cannot speak for anybody else's body, however this time of the year also usually signals painful joints, colds, the flu, sinuses going crazy. Our body is supposed to be a Temple to the Lord but at this time of the year one has to wonder.The human body is a remarkable machine. It maintains a constant temperature of 98.6 degrees. At the Arctic Circle or the equator, the temperature is about the same.

It is to the glory of the unsearchable wisdom of God our Creator that our bodies are able to perform and function in such a stabilizing and balanced manner. It is to the greater glory of our God that He has placed within us an inner mechanism that makes the difference for our physical selves. The Holy Spirit likewise dwells within the Christian to achieve this inner stabilization in terms of spiritual health. Whether we face good times or bad, whether we are confronted by temptation or receiving spiritual nourishment, the Holy Spirit keeps us stable within. As is the glory of God the Father, is likewise the glory of the Holy Spirit which brings to mind Jesus the Son.

The Holy Spirit communicates the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ with the heart of the believer. Where there is there exists a sense of imbalance within the inner self, the Holy Spirit rushes forth into our consciousness and exhorts us, guides us forward into the truth of God’s Word where the glorious love of Jesus Christ is now revealed and prayerfully more fully realized and experienced, where the cold heart that once may have been or currently is, finds itself feeling strangely warmed up. It is the Holy Spirit which glorifies all things that are of the Son of God by helping us all to remember that the glory which is the perfect completeness of the Triune God brings Their glorious completeness to us all.

Let Us Pray: Holy Spirit, be with me today. Be my teacher, my guide, my counselor, my friend. Fill me with your gifts, especially the gifts of wisdom, discernment, knowledge, understanding, compassion, love, and awe in God's presence. Push me and Guide me, lead me along the difficult and winding path toward thy completeness.
