Luke 24:49 NLT — And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven. 

When we need strength God sends just what we need. How does our Maker send us strength? This week I will share some ways God strengthens me.

The most obvious way I gain strength from God is from the Holy Spirit. Today’s featured scripture occurs when Jesus arose from the dead. He appeared to His disciples and gave them a wonderful promise before His ascension. When we are struggling with difficult times the Holy Spirit will comfort and strengthen us to continue on our journey. As Christians we all have access to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

How does the Holy Spirit strengthen you? Examine how closely you are in tune to the Holy Spirit. Are you allowing the Spirit to guide you?

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to guide, direct, and strengthen me. Open my heart and mind to receive Your strength and guidance. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
