Good Morning.  Here’s Today’s Nugget to chew on:

“You Have The Advantage”

John 16:13-15 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

13 [Jesus said] But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].

14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.

15 Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.

Further Thought:  John 17:17 reminds us that God’s Word is truth.  What the Holy Spirit has to reveal to us all starts with our foundation based on God’s Word.  As we continue to hear and meditate upon the truth of God’s Word, we become more familiar with His voice. Remember Jesus said in John 10:27-28, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” He also said in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5 that He would never leave nor forsake us. When you and I received Jesus as Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit was given/deposited on the inside of us. He is our guide and is always available. So, to live life without Him is to live at a disadvantage.  

So today, if you haven’t received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I want to encourage you to make that decision now, according to Romans 10:9-10. Now, for the rest of us, let’s not neglect the remarkable gift of the Holy Spirit living inside of us.  According to today’s passage, his assignment is to continually reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) to us instructions from the Father and to show us things that are to come. Yes, you have the advantage; now utilize it.

Have a great day and keep chewing on God’s Word.
