A Glad Heart | Nov. 17th

 “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.”

  Psalm 46:4

  Beloved, this river that gladdens God’s people is the same quiet stream beside which the Good Shepherd leads us. This blessed stream represents the Holy Spirit.

  Daily, the child of God is guided by the Holy Spirit, who provides wisdom, convicts of sin, strengthens faith, and reminds us of Christ’s teachings. He works within the soul to apply the work of Christ to our lives, allowing us to grow in grace and knowledge of God.

  The Spirit of God lightens the heart of God’s children. He illuminates the word and works of God while filling the heart with joy for the salvation received in Jesus. Because of the Holy Spirit, we experience endless peace and joy in our lives, accompanied by an earnest hope for what awaits us in glory. He is the witness in our hearts, assuring us that we belong to God and that we are among His people.

  Beloved, take a moment and prayerfully consider all that the Spirit of God has shown you thus far in your life. Reflect upon His blessings and ask that you might be more sensitive to His leading today.

In Christ Alone.
