Genesis
1:2. “The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over it’s
surface.”
The Spirit of God has always
been, just as God is; so is the Spirit.
He is the third person of the
Triune Godhead (Matt. 28:19)
The Old Testament richly
alludes or prepares us for the revelation of the Holy Spirit in the New
Testament.
The Spirit was active in
creating life as we know it on earth.
The Spirit endows the people of
God in the Old Testament, as some Judges (Judges 3:10) King David (1 Samuel
16:13) and especially those who were in
the Messianic line (Isaiah 11:2, 42:1, 48:16)
The old testament points toward the messianic day as a special enjoyment
of the Spirit of God. (Isaiah 32:5 and 44:3)
We can embrace the Holy
Spirit and invite his presence into our life to indwell us and equip us with
the strength, wisdom and courage we need so that we can be all that God desires
us to be.
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, Thank you for
sending The Comforter, The Holy Spirit to be with us while Christ is with
you. I am so glad that you, in your
wisdom, knew we would need someone to enable and equip us to have the courage
to be witnesses for you and spread your gospel to those who are in need of
it. I invite you, Holy Spirit, to fill
my heart with fullness so that I can be all that God intended me to be. In Jesus name, Amen.
