Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119)
Holy Spirit of God, ready me to testify to your truth and mercy, your power and purpose...11/24/2022 Luke 21:21-28 The good thing about being ‘ready’ to testify is that testifying to the nature of God - his truth, mercy, power and purpose – is both active and passive. It is a ‘balanced activity’ if you will. Yes, to testify to the nature of God actively and purposefully requires that I ‘show up’, make good choices, and then dedicate my body and soul to be instruments of the Holy Spirit through committed prayer time, words, and actions to the glory of God. But even when I passively yield my thoughts, words and deeds to God, whether in life, and even in death, then God’s Holy Spirit can and does manifest his mercy, his truth, his power and his purpose through my whole being, both living and remembered, moment by moment, day by day. Will I fully yield my heart, mind, soul and strength to the agency of God to bring about his kingdom on earth? Holy Spirit of God, ready me to testify to your truth and mercy, your power and purpose. And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? (Jesus in Luke 12:57) Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee… Frances R.
