DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 26; Psalm 140-141; Mark 10:32-52
Beloved, believe not every spirit … Hereby know ye the spirit of God; Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. 1 John 4:1-2
How may I be sure that I have the Holy Spirit? And how do I recognise the Holy Spirit’s leading? Look at our Lord’s life. He was led by the Spirit His entire life. He walked in the constant companionship of the Spirit. Everything was in accordance with the Spirit’s leading. That same Spirit now indwells the believer enabling us to discern the false from the true and leading us if we will let Him. And, the “Spirit bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God” (Rom. 8:17). —Drew Craig
Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed, with us to dwell. —J. B. Dyers
