HOLY SPIRIT - Week 4, Day 2
Moses said to the Lord, "May the Lord the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the Lord's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd." So the Lord said to Moses, "Take Joshua...a man in whom is the spirit, and lay our hand on him. Numbers 27:15-18
Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul.... 1 Samuel 16:23
I'm not gonna lie, this passage about Saul and David is confusing to me. I will have to have a conversation with my Bible scholar friend Josh to get the inside scoop on this one....
The thing today's reading shows me is that in this period of the Old Testament, God chose when and whom and for what purpose the Holy Spirit would dwell in individual people. I am grateful today, that because of Jesus' death and ressurection, the Holy Spirit can indwell all beleivers all the time. And the things He brought then, he still brings today....among many other things, I have certainly experienced the leadership and relief that the Holy Spirit brings to my life.
