The Holy Spirit Is With Us and in Us > ... let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. Galatians 5:16 NLT For the last six days, we’ve been pursuing attitudes shaped by gratitude, humility, grace, honesty, hope, and trust. But our attitudes can quickly change and is influenced by so many things, including some that are completely out of our control. We are imperfect humans trying to live out our lives in ways which honor God. But we still get grumpy, envy others, fear the future, and fail to extend grace. So how can we conform to Christ, the one who followed God perfectly? Not only do we have the perfect example in the life and teachings of Jesus, but we also have access to His Spirit living in us, as He promised. The Holy Spirit dwells in every follower of Jesus, guiding us and forming in us the mind of Christ. We are not alone in this journey. The word Jesus uses in John 14 to describe the Spirit is paraclete , a word that means comforter, advocate, and one who stands beside. The Spirit is not only with us, but in us. This doesn’t mean you’ll never have difficult feelings or forget about God at a significant moment and respond with a damaging attitude. It means He’s on our side, working in us and with us every day. Pray: God, as I go about my life, help my attitude reflect the Spirit of Christ in me. Help me listen to the Holy Spirit as You guide me every day. Thank You for loving me and entrusting me with Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
