I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
(John 14:16–17).
What a gift the Lord has given us! The Holy Spirit is our advocate, praying for us and through us. If we listen, He will guide us into what is true. He is our source of peace and our guarantee of an inheritance that is ours only by God's grace. The Spirit is a gift from God only to those who embrace Him.
Because we have the Holy Spirit in us, the Bible comes to life, we can know which path to take, we have insight when talking with others, and God gives us the words we need. Because of the Holy Spirit, we know peace even in chaos, joy, and contentment even in a wildly materialistic world. God equips us to serve Him in ways we could not have served before. God's Spirit will guide us to a more Christlike character.
We have trouble hearing the whispers of God the Holy Spirit when are surrounded by noise and activity. We need the quiet to fully benefit from God within us. We must find time for quiet reflection on His Word and time to simply listen. All we need God has given us. Be still and know that He is God!
