Be Led by the Spirit

Week 9: Helping Others

Be led by the Spirit.
Romans 8: 14

Any help you give outside of the Spirit will eventually be you just doing stuff. Eventually, everything that is not Spirit-originated is cut down and thrown into the fire. Who is setting the course for your actions today? What does your help produce long term?

As you think on those questions, intercede for your children. Ask God to help you parent them so their strongest desire will be to be a friend and disciple of Jesus. If you don’t have children, pray for your parents. Ask God to honor and bless them today. Ask God for specific ways you could honor them.

PS
I pray for you all to have a Happy Thanksgiving. As Karen has had to care for her parents, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I give the Lord thanks for my wonderful wife. I thank Gof for my children, too; all grown, but still growing. I thank God for the ministry to which we've been called: to faithfully pastor Laurel Hill UMC, to write songs and books that stir the heart to follow God, and to begin the video ministry of the Two-Minute Drill and awaken people to the pathway of grace!
