First day back in the office

I love reading the Word of God and watching the Holy Spirit do His thing. This morning, the Holy Spirit was so cool to hang out with. He is cool to hang out with everyday but today was extra special! He knows exactly what we need from the Word of God. He takes the Word and releases it's truth in our life in such a personal way that it's mind-blowing. Do I have any witnesses? C'mon, shout me down! :)

Seriously, Jesus made a specific promise about what the Holy Spirit would do for us if we would "be still and know Him". John 16:13 says, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." How amazing is that? I love listening to Him. I'm asking God to help me be a better listener so that I don't miss out on what He has to say to me. Would you join me in asking God to "open your ears to hear" and "open your eyes to see" the wonderful things that He has planned for your life?

If you get permission from the Holy Spirit to share your "listening encounters" with Him then I'd love to hear your story! You can email me at pastortad@gmail.com.
