Today’s Scripture: If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13 ESV
Do you ask the heavenly Father to give you the Holy Spirit? When the disciples asked Jesus earlier in Luke 11 how to pray He shared this example. This morning as I used His model I longed to live right there. Why do I too often, feel intimate with God in prayer and seeking His affirmation only to disconnect for the balance of the day?
The cares of this world can quickly pull us away yet I was reminded by God’s Spirit that I can live with God; fully connected just as I am in prayer. Jesus tells us is it as simple as asking the heavenly Father for His Spirit.
We have been given a great gift to be able to speak with our heavenly Father and ask Him to give us the Holy Spirit. We must be persistent in our asking and our living.
Have you asked the heavenly Father to give you the Holy Spirit?
Today’s Prayer: O Heavenly Father how I do praise Your name. LORD thank You for sending Your Son to show us the way. LORD thank You for answering our calls and teaching us to pray. Father, I ask You to give me Your Holy Spirit and to help me dwell with You always. In Jesus’ name I do pray to You and ask. Amen
