Unseen Presence

Interesting passage for the day: But the fact of the matter is that it is best for you that I go away, for if I don’t, the Comforter won’t come. If I do, he will—for I will send him to you. – John 16:7, The Living Bible

Thought: The Comforter—the Holy Spirit—has come. And Jesus said that it was for our best that the Comforter was coming, even though Jesus would be leaving. It was Jesus who sent the Holy Spirit.

So often we want God to be right here with us. We wish we could live when Jesus lived, walk with Him, be one of His disciples. But the fact of the matter is that God is still with us. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, and we are not alone. With the Holy Spirit in our lives, we have the presence, wisdom, and power of Jesus available at every moment.

Question: How can we express our dependence on the Holy Spirit in practical ways and remember that He is with us even though we can’t see Him?
