Wednesday, June 24
The Divine Helper

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26

The Greek word Jesus used for the Holy Spirit is parakletos, a combination of para (“beside”) and kaleo (“to call”). The Holy Spirit is, therefore, called to come alongside believers to help them—“Helper” being the translation of parakletos in many modern English versions (John 14:16).

Recommended Reading:
John 14:15-16

Paul employs the image of helper when he says that the Holy Spirit “helps in our weaknesses” when it comes to prayer. When we come before God in prayer, sometimes “we do not know how to pray as we should” (NASB1995). Not so much what to pray for but how to pray at all. In such cases the Spirit “makes intercession for us” before God. That image is consistent with another rendering of parakletos—“advocate.” The Spirit helps us by representing us before the throne of God, interceding for us when we simply don’t know how to intercede ourselves.

When you want to pray but don’t know how, don’t despair. Trust that the Holy Spirit will represent your heart before the throne of God.

It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.

Heart as Home

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20

In 1954, the late pastor Robert Boyd Munger published a 32-page pamphlet that has become a classic among writings on Christian discipleship: My Heart—Christ’s Home. He suggested that Christians should think of their heart and their life as their home into which Jesus is invited—even the dark closets we rarely open. What would Jesus find if He walked through the home of our heart?

Recommended Reading:
Galatians 2:20

Munger drew inspiration for his booklet from the fact that Christ does dwell in every believer through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” Revelation 3:20 pictures Christ knocking on the door of the church in Laodicea, seeking entrance and fellowship. By extension, we can picture Christ desiring to enjoy intimate fellowship with everyone who believes in Him (John 14:23). The question is, do we have a reciprocal desire?

Your sanctification (holiness) is God’s will (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Make sure the home of your heart is a welcome place for the Holy Spirit.

A man’s heart is what he is.
R. B. Kuiper

Hit the Road

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:21

Angie Foley bought a barn in northern Michigan to turn into an event venue. Inside she found eighteen classic cars, including a 1941 Buick Special. The vehicles had sat in the barn for years. They were rusty and caked with dirt. Their tires were flat. But imagine their value when restored!1

Recommended Reading:
2 Timothy 2:20-26

Anything deteriorates if unused, but restoration is an exciting process. Take your spiritual gift, for example. It will deteriorate if unused. You’ll become rusty and fall short of your potential in the Lord’s work. But if you begin using your gift, God will restore its worth.

When you know your spiritual gift, you should begin using it. Don’t let it sit idly in a barn. Dust it off. Polish it so you can use it for the glory of God. Ask God to give you the spark of the Holy Spirit. Fuel yourself with the Word and hit the road. You’ll be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and useful for the Master in every good work.

The very best way to discover spiritual gifts … is to get involved in ministry and see where the Spirit leads and equips.

The Great Outdoors: Nature Is a Place for Rest
JUNE 20, 2026

NEW!
Listen Now
So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Luke 5:16

Recommended Reading: Luke 5:12-16
Did you ever attend a church camp? Maybe the cabins were primitive or the mosquitoes relentless. But there’s something about being in the woods, beside a lake, or camping in the mountains that often opens our hearts to the Lord. Only heaven knows how many young people have dedicated their lives to Christ after hearing the Gospel around a campfire while the crickets chirped and the frogs sang in the distance.

Even now, adventurers young and old find some of their best times in prayer along mountain trails or while occupying a cabin in the woods. Those less adventurous enjoy reading their Bibles on the seaside balcony of their hotels as the waves rise and crash to shore.

If we have the opportunity to vacation in the mountains, along the coast, or in the desert, let’s take our Bibles. If we can’t travel, let’s find a park bench or backyard swing. When we’re surrounded with God’s creation, we find it natural to do as Jesus did—to withdraw to the Lord and pray.

God writes his gospel, not in the Bible alone, but in tress, and flowers, and clouds, and stars.
Martin Luther

Friday, June 19
Spiritual Gifts

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4

The apostle Paul talked about spiritual gifts in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4. In studying these passages we can determine that a spiritual gift is a capacity the Holy Spirit places within us for serving God in the unique way He has designed for us. When the Holy Spirit came to live within your heart, He gave you spiritual gifts. Every Christian has at least one.

Recommended Reading:
Romans 12:3-8

Dr. A. T. Pierson said, “Everyone has some gift, therefore all should be encouraged. No one has all the gifts, therefore all should be humble. All the gifts are for one Body, therefore all should be harmonious. All the gifts are needful, therefore all should be faithful.”

One of the best ways of discovering your spiritual gifts is seeing how God uses you. What do you enjoy doing for Him? What does He seem to bless? What areas of Christian service ignite your passion?

Ask God to show you the gift He has given you for service and then go to work!

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Leo Buscaglia

Through Us!

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.
2 Corinthians 5:20, NIV

Many people are baffled by what Jesus said to His disciples in John 14:12: “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do.” But Jesus knew that His greatest ministry was still ahead of Him. He was going to send the Holy Spirit into the lives of believers and continue His work through them by the power of the Spirit.

Recommended Reading:
John 14:12-14

The apostle Paul said, “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14, emphasis added). He said, “But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me” (2 Timothy 4:17, emphasis added).

Our Christian work is never a matter of what we are doing for Christ but of what He is doing through us by His Spirit. Those are His “greater things.” Ask the Lord to make you His channel, speaking His words and doing His works through you by the Spirit.

The only life that ever pleased God on earth was the life of Jesus Christ, and He must reproduce His life in us.
Oswald Chambers

Greater Works

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
John 14:12

It is the nature of God’s economy for there to be a continual state of increase. The seeds in the apples on a single apple tree will produce multiple times more trees. Even Jesus spoke of Himself as a singular vine from which multiple branches bear an abundance of fruit (John 15:1-8).

Recommended Reading:
Acts 1:8-9

Jesus told His disciples that they would produce “greater works” than He did. In the original Greek text the word “works” does not appear—only the adjective “greater.” “Works” is a good translation because Jesus had just mentioned “works” in the first part of John 14:12. But some modern translations have supplied “greater things,” which broadens the scope of what Jesus may have been predicting to include everything Jesus did, not just the miracles He mentioned in verse 11.

If you believe in Jesus Christ, you should expect to duplicate His ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit (verses 16-17). Ask God to show you the “greater works” He wants you to carry out.

The unfinished task which lies before us is no greater than the unlimited power of God behind us.

Evidence of the Spirit

But the fruit of the Spirit is…peace.
Galatians 5:22

Like many lists Paul creates in his letters, his list of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 should not be taken as exhaustive. Rather, they are nine godly characteristics of those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. They could also be taken as characteristics of Christ.

Recommended Reading:
Philippians 4:6-7

It is helpful to note that “fruit” is singular while the list that follows is not. We could substitute the word “evidence” for the word “fruit” in verse 22—“the evidence of the presence of the Spirit is.” And peace is a significant part of the evidence of the Spirit’s presence and empowering. That is, if we are anxious and worried, we are displaying evidence that we are not trusting the Holy Spirit’s leading in our life in that situation. How do we maintain peace in trying circumstances? By following Paul’s teaching in Philippians 4:6-7. Instead of being anxious, commit every concern to God through prayer, with thanksgiving, and receive God’s peace in your heart and mind.

If you are anxious, commit your concerns to God in prayer and trust that His peace will replace your worries.

The Christian should resemble a fruit tree, not a Christmas tree!
