Let us then do what God says. Once we establish it is Him speaking to us, the next step is to do what He says. When we look back retrospectively, we sometimes realise that we did something that backfired, yet we had felt inclined to do something else that would have worked. May we keep practicing listening to the Lord and may He keep blessing us. James 1:22-25.

May the word we hear from the Lord be retained in us, may we preserve, and may it produce a good crop. May we learn to hear God despite the “noise” around us. May He help us develop the skill to distinguish His voice from other voices. And may we help others grow in this skill. May we also find favour with the Lord so that He keeps speaking to us. Luke 8:11-15.

May the Lord allow us to see what He is doing and to hear what He is saying. Desiring to hear God is one thing. Him enabling us to hear Him and see what He is doing is another. May He have mercy on us and reveal His will concerning our circumstances. Luke 8:10.

Hearing what God says would help us not to worry. Whatever we are going through would not unsettle us if we heard God concerning that situation. May that be our portion. May the Lord reach out to us and reassure us. Psalm 23:4, 86:5-11.

I was reminded that I have to keep casting all my cares on the Lord. 1 Peter 5:7. As I try to surrender all to Him, I should also give up my worries. What is bothering you today? Remember that the Lord cares for you and that He is able to do all things. He was present at the beginning, and nothing is too difficult for Him. Genesis 1:2. Worrying makes one anxious.

There is also the benefit of intercession. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us in accordance with God’s will, for He knows the mind of God. May we purpose to allow Him room to operate in us. May we nurture our relationship with Him. Romans 8:26-27.

Have you ever been told that you behave differently or well? That is the impact that the Holy Spirit has on us. And people get puzzled because they cannot see Him and do not know Him. May we allow Him to guide us by following His lead. May His voice get clearer as we get older. John 14:15-18.

If we are going to walk in step with the Holy Spirit, there are a few things we need to consider. The church in Corinth was having a challenge with lifestyle and Paul’s advice in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 hopefully helped them. May we try and honour the Lord by the way we live.

The Father’s plan was to bestow the Holy Spirit upon His children after the resurrection of Christ. After the amazing ministry of Jesus on earth, the body of Christ needed a Helper to teach us all things and remind us of what Christ had done and taught. We need the Holy Spirit to thrive and be effective in our kingdom assignment. John 14:26.

May the Spirit of the Lord rest upon us and give us wisdom and understanding. May He empower us to do the will of God every moment. May He help us to grow in our knowledge of God and cause us to revere Him always. May our lives reflect the presence of God. Isaiah 11:2.
