Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to
your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honour you.
Today is Pentecost Sunday. If you are unfamiliar with the
significance of it, let me summarise - Pentecost Sunday is a major
Christian festival celebrated 50 days after Easter. It commemorates the descent
of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ in
Jerusalem. It marks the beginning of the early church's global mission.
According to the book of Acts, followers of Jesus were
gathered in one place when a rushing wind filled the house and tongues of fire
rested on each of them. The Holy Spirit empowered them in this moment, and
they turned from average people to people that boldly carried the gospel into
the world regardless the consequences.
Now what does that mean for you and me. Today I believe that
the Holy Spirit will manifest like never before. Our mission is to bring a wave
of love into our world and to touch lives as far as we go, so I know that if you
open your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to speak into your heart and touch your
soul, you will feel a change in your life like never before. It will ignite a spark
in you and set you on your journey in Jesus Christ.
This brings me back to Psalm 86, and I encourage you to read
the whole one as I trust the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and speak to you. My
verse is verse 11 and here David writes that God must teach us His ways so we
can live according to the truth. Now remember Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through
me”.
This is the truth in which we must walk. The truth that we
must allow the Holy Spirit to teach us. The truth that Jesus Christ is the son
of God and He is the only way. This is the truth that we must live out, speak
out and share wherever we go. So, that in this truth God will “Create in me a
clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).
Today my prayer for us is Psalm 86:17 – “Send me a sign of
your favour. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O LORD, help
and comfort me”. Send me Lord and open my eyes to the works of your hands and
guide me so that I will do your will. Strengthen me to keep going and protect
me from those who hate me. You are my God and I put all my trust in you. It shall
be well for me and my house will follow the Lord our God.
Have an awesome day, my friend. Your life is about to
change.
