Greetings, Precious Friends;

May the Peace of the Lord be with you

Family, to some people, the word “consistency” is a pretty tough word. Consistency means doing what you say you are going to do. It means being accountable and trustworthy.

Family, has there been a time when someone has let you down and did not keep a promise? How did it make you feel? Was it hard to trust the person or persons the next time a promise was made?

Do you know who is the best promise keeper? Yep, Jesus. Jesus made a promise never to leave us or forsake us. Even when Jesus had to leave this earthly realm, he made another promise to send the Comforter or Advocate in his place. Let’s see what the Bible says about it.

Scripture Passage of the Day

John 16:7-15
New International Version
7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for continually being a Comforter and an Advocate. You have been so faith in keeping the promise Jesus made so many years ago. May we always be sensitive to your voice and whispers, as you lead us in the way of truth through Jesus Christ. It is in Jesus name that we lift this prayer.

And we let it be…And so it is

In the name of God, The Father; God, The Son; and God, The Holy Spirit.

Amen, Amen, and Amen
