Today is day 2 of the covenant with Jesus to obey His Holy Spirit within me. I never want to turn my back on this but I also know I can never keep this covenant on my own will. It will be relying solely on the Strength of God’s Holy Spirit within me and renewing it each an every day. I have a post-it note in my journal so I see it as soon as I open it each morning. I will do this until the habit is in place.

As I go to my counseling appointment in less than an hour, I’m taking a book my prayer warrior Lois had me get for the young man I’m seeing. He is one who knows God and wants to serve Him, but he has been raised to believe that Jesus was just a good Jew giving good advice. Lois and I have been praying for quite some time for this young man’s heart to be curious about Jesus in such a way that he would want to learn more about Him. I’m praying this morning will be that time.

Secondly today, in the small group of men I meet following the counseling appointment, there is a young man there who is “giving up”. He had said last meeting he wouldn’t be returning. Last Thursday night I asked him to reconsider coming this morning. The lesson we will do hits squarely where his struggle lies. I’m praying also for him to be nudged to come this morning.

God never stops working. I’m praying to see a glimmer of His Brilliant Light as this morning moves on. I will praise God right now for what He is doing!
