Bible in a Year : Psalms 33-34, Acts 24

The Holy Spirit . . . will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 14:26

Today's Scripture & Insight : John 14:15-26

When the navigation app suggested a route that would cut almost an hour off their long drive, Shelby Easler and her brother followed the alternate directions. However, the ‘shortcut’ led them along a dirt path for hours that left them stranded in the middle of a field. They were able to reverse course, but they eventually had to be towed because of all the damage to their car from the rough terrain. The app developer apologised to the numerous travellers who followed those wrong directions.

It’s important who we rely on for guidance. As believers in Jesus, we’ve been given the Holy Spirt to lead and direct us in matters of truth.

When Jesus knew that He’d soon die and be taken from His disciples, He assured them He wouldn’t leave them stranded. He urged His disciples to obey His commands and spoke of the promised Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of truth, who would be with them forever and live inside of them (John 14:15-17). “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (v. 26).

Let’s continue to follow the Holy Spirit’s prompting as we go throughout our day. We know He’ll never lead us astray.
