Your Help In Time of Need
For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:19
Can you imagine what it would have been like to walk with Jesus and to sit with Him daily? How incredible would it have been to hear Him preach and teach and heal the sick. As wonderful as that would have been to see Jesus in flesh and blood, He IS in fact with us every day through the Holy Spirit.
Paul was strengthened here by the supply of the Spirit of Jesus. Talk about provision! My husband and I were able to visit the prison where Paul wrote these words in Rome. It was a dark, cold, stone room. It was in that little prison room that He was in desperate need of the Holy Spirit’s strength and wisdom. The supply of the Spirit not only strengthened Paul, but filled Him with joy. The whole book of Philippians is called “the book of joy, “ and it was written in the least joyful circumstance.
That is what the supply of the Holy Spirit will do for you too! In John 16:7 Jesus said, “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” Just like Paul, we have the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ available to us 24/7! He is providing us the help that we need whenever we need it.
I’m sure you would agree that we need His help each and every day to provide us with strength, wisdom, understanding, and so much more.
Dear Lord, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Help me to recognize the working of His power in my life today. Amen.
