Thurs.’s Devo -The Holy Spirit

Read: Ex. 39-40
Everything was finished for the tabernacle and set up. The priests were dressed in their coats and Aaron in his high priest garments. They were sanctified and ready. The lamp was lit and the incense flowing and God’s glory came. The cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle continually through the rest of their wanderings through the wilderness.
This is suppose to be a picture of us. We have been given Christ who is in us. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost in Acts, the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples and tongues of fire rested on their head. They went out with power to witness to all those who had come to Jerusalem for the feast. The Holy Spirit gave them the ability to speak the language of those from other cultures. That is what the Holy Spirit does. He transcends cultural barriers and personal differences and allows us to communicate the love of Jesus to anyone he sends us to. We don’t have to worry about whether we have experienced what they have experienced or understand where they are coming from; the Holy Spirit inside us knows all and will give us what we need to share with them that will minister life to them. We have no limits with Him.
Lord, may we be consciously filled with Your Holy Spirit and boldly proclaim Your love.
