“The Invisible Helper” – The Holy Spirit

“An invisible helper”… Ask a sailor, the wind blowing in the right direction can be a great help! Or ask a runner, temperatures that are pleasant are an encouragement to “put on the running shoes and tackle the trail.” And if you have an appliance that depends on electrical power, having it available and operative is important… Just a few examples of the importance of “an invisible helper!”

My Bible reading today reminded me that, as a Christians, we have an “In Invisible Helper” – here it is right out of the mouth of Jesus…

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper to be with you forever – even the Spirit of truth… 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… The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid!” (From John 14:15-27 ESV)

“The Invisible Helper” – the Holy Spirit! He’s real! He is personal! He personifies God’s presence dwelling within! He helps Christians in countless ways! He empowers! He protects! He leads and guides! He reveals and reminds! He warns! He produces peace in the midst of conflict, trial and confusion. You can see, feel and experience His presence at work within you and around you. He is there even when you’re not aware of His presence! Oh thank God for “The Invisible Helper” – the Holy Spirit!
