"This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit." -I John 4:13 (NIV)
In transitioning from middle school to high school, one difference has been the team spirit exhibited by students and faculty at the high school. The sports and other activities allow students of various interests to be involved in school and with faculty that have shared interests. The school or team spirit offers encouragement and a sense of belonging to all those that choose to participate in the school. As Christians, we are also called to have "team spirit" for God...He even gives us His Holy Spirit!
We can know God and become connected to God through the gift of the Holy Spirit. We can live and breathe through the Spirit and we can come to know and understand God's Word and voice through the Holy Spirit. With the Spirit as part of our lives, we become part of God's team and should show our excitement about and connection to God. Through prayer, reading the Bible, and fellowship with other believers, we can grow in God, become closer to Him, and know His will for our lives. Being part of God's team, we can also show others the love and mercy that God has for them, too!
Show your "team spirit" for God by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you in a deeper relationship with God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit to guide me and help me understand Your will in my life. Help me to follow Your will and to share You with others that I meet. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
