We Have the Same Spirit

Scripture Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

Observation: Isaiah is prophesying about Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus told us when he left this earth the first time that He was going to have that same spirit rest on us. If we call on the Holy Spirit, He will give us wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge and the fear of the Lord. We have everything we need if we would only ask.

Application: I need to be calling on the Holy Spirit every day for guidance and wisdom to do what will honor God. So often I do things on my own trying to satisfy self and almost every time things go wrong. I need to wait on the filling of the Holy Spirit before I move forward.

Prayer: My Lord please fill me with the Holy Spirit and show me how you want me to finish this race. Help me not depend on my own mind put wait for the guidance of the Spirit.
