DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 3-4; Ezekiel 28; John 10:19-42
The Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive … but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:17
The physical and visible presence of their Master would be temporary. But the omnipresent Spirit would take His place in the disciples’ hearts and in the hearts of all those who would follow Him. All that the Lord Jesus was to His disciples as helper, guide, teacher and companion would be carried on by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Such is the significance of His declaration, “I will not leave you comfortless (orphans) I will come to you” (John 14:18). As we walk day by day, whatever the circumstances, this surely is a precious assurance.

Joys are flowing like a river, since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever, makes the trusting heart His home.
