"And they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost."
Acts 2:4
Acts 2:4
Rich
were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Ghost.
The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be impossible to
overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other
precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit's benign presence. As sacred
oil, He anoints the head of the
believer, sets him apart to the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to
execute his office aright. As the only truly purifying water He cleanses us from the power
of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the
Lord's good pleasure.
As
the light, He manifested to us at first
our lost estate, and now He reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides
us in the way of righteousness. Enlightened by His pure celestial ray, we are
no more darkness but light in the Lord. As fire,
He both purges us from dross, and sets our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is
the sacrificial flame by which we are enabled to offer our whole souls as a
living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly dew,
He removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that He would drop from
above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet
commencement for the day.
As
the dove, with wings of peaceful love
He broods over His Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter
He dispels the cares and doubts which mar the peace of His beloved. He descends
upon the chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship
by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. As the wind, He brings the breath of life
to men; blowing to perform the quickening operations by which the spiritual
creation is animated and sustained. In that;
we might feel His presence this day and every day.
God
bless,
