This water is so good I want to pour it out: 2 Samuel 22:1-23:23
It’s too early in the morning to be drunk: Acts 2:1-47
Psalm 122: Psalm 122:1-9
Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord: Proverbs 16:19-20
Two items of note from two different passages.
2nd Samuel 23:13-17: What in the world was David thinking? If you were one of David’s men and had fought hard just to get him the drink of water he asked for, how would you feel when he poured it on the ground? :)
Acts 2: Hey, guess what? We don’t have to carry out the great commission on our own. What great commission am I talking about? The one where Jesus said to go out & tell people about Him.
Take Peter in today’s reading from Acts. Do you know who Peter was? Peter was just a plain ol’ fisherman with little to no education who was more impulsive than impressive. The next thing you know, the Holy Spirit is using him to bring thousands into the kingdom of God!
And who will do these wondrous things? Peter quotes Joel 2:28-32, which says, “your sons and daughters will prophesy”. It also says, “Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy”.
So the Holy Spirit using folks in miraculous ways is not a man-only thing.
How would you like to have a part of the Trinity poured out onto you? Luke 11:1-13 has Jesus explaining what we call the Lord’s Prayer with asking God for the Holy Spirit, knowing for sure that He’ll give Him to you.
