I live in the Spirit

Today’s Scripture: Luke 2:27 ESV: And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law,

 

Simeon was led by the Spirit. That is where I want to live; in the Spirit of God.

 

Simeon was told he would see the Messiah before he died.  If you knew you would see the Messiah how expectantly would you round each corner? How deeply would you look into the eyes of those you meet? How richly would you listen to the speech of others?

 

We can ask God and His Spirit to lead us. He can lead us into our quiet time with Him and He can lead us into every moment with expectation.  I want my spiritual senses to be heightened; to be on the lookout constantly.

 

It is here I want to live. It is here where I want to be expectant of God and His Spirit. It is here I want to peer into the souls of everyone I meet. I want to live here.

 

What ways help you live in the Spirit?

 

Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Your Holy Spirit. What power, what assurance we have with Him. Thank You for this gift. Help me LORD God to live and walk with You. Only You know our human capacity to live there but I ask You to have me stay in the Spirit and have the Spirit stay in me. I desire to walk with You God in all things and in all ways. Keep me close. Amen.
