Listening to the Holy Spirit:
To whom will you go? There are many who claim expertise, many who falsely guide with little knowledge. I Am the Great Counselor, given to man that they might receive what is not available from men. You profess homage to an all-knowing God, and walk with assurance of His presence within you, but then look to man for answers to those things not given to man’s understanding. My voice speaks to My children. Even in the workplace, I give what is needed to accomplish. Bring to Me the difficulties of the day; in the bringing there will be receiving. As the tree stretches its roots, I will bring to you what is needed. Your work is not your own, given each day by My will. My Spirit dwells to help, to lift to you ideas for your difficulties, strength of mind for the challenges placed before you. Know and remember you walk not alone, but with the Paraclete to support all things you must bear. Forget not the Great Helper of those who call Me Lord. Their journey is no longer alone or confined to the limited thoughts of man. They, and you, have aid in each day, each issue, each circumstance. Once in the body, I walked as One; now I walk with each of My own. Seek My voice, and My light will give your feet guidance as no other voice can.
John 14:16-18 (ESV) – And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
Galatians 4:6 (ESV) – And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
1Cor2:6-7 (ESV) – Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.
Taking It to Work:
How often do you go to God for the issues, even the small issues at work? We forget, or maybe never have thought about it; but God is as interested in walking with us at work as He is at church. It may be strange to some to consult the Holy Spirit on the job, but as Christians we have a Wonderful Counselor who is with us 24/7. His help is always available, every work day, with any of our work day issues – challenging designs, difficult schedules, leadership, finances, workplace politics . . . What are you facing today that He can help you with? He is with you. The God of the universe is with you. Let His Word, and wisdom, work in you today.
