Who’s Driving Your Car

Today I read Acts 2:1-13. What stood out to me was how the disciples were all filled with the Holy Spirit and the result was that the Spirit is the one who gave them the words to say. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are controlled and empowered by Him instead of self. We might think of it as though we are handing the keys of the car of our life to Jesus and say, “Lord, You do the driving. Take me anywhere you want to go and do whatever You would like in and through me.” I love that picture and it helps me to rely on the Spirit of God to strengthen me for the tasks at hand. I’ve been thinking about this verse all day and it is especially applicable to any who write or speak. He will give you the words as you are filled (controlled and empowered) with the Holy Spirit. Today, let’s hand the keys to the Lord, be filled with the Spirit, and let Him do the driving.

Lord, today I ask you to fill me with Your Spirit and I rely on You to give me the strength and everything else I need to accomplish the tasks you have assigned to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
