THE PRESENCE OF GOD'S SPIRIT

EZEKIEL 39:29 (CEV)
Never again will I turn my back on the people of Israel, and my Spirit will live in them. I, the Lord, have spoken.

1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-7 (CEB)
There are different spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; and there are different ministries and the same Lord; and there are different activities but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
When God's Spirit lives in us amazing things happen.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for sending your Holy Spirit to live in and among us. You have given us everything we need to live well together. Forgive me for all the times that I am inhospitable to the presence of the Spirit. I end up missing out. Change my heart so that I'm more fully tuned into what you are doing here and now -- so that I can live my life in such a way that I benefit the common good. Amen.
