Bible Verse for May 5th.

And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live.

Ephesians 4:30
NLT Bible

Many of us are bringing sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way we live. We know what we are doing is wrong, but yet we persist, ignoring the guidance and gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, the Holy Spirit dwells within us and is our guide for righteous living. So many times, we may feel the Holy Spirit leading us away from unrighteousness, but we choose to carry on with our wrong deeds.

If we make our relationship with God a priority, spending time in prayer and in His Word, we are equipped with strength to stay on the right path and our spirits are attuned to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We are able to refrain from bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, slander and evil behaviour and instead fill our minds with kindness, tenderness and forgiveness.

Thank you Lord for Your Holy Spirit. Help me to be sensitive and obedient to the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit and with Your help, may I never do anything to grieve Your Holy Spirit. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
