"Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had left from Saul."
1 Samuel 18:12
What a dreadful feeling it must be to have known the Spirit of the Lord and then have Him leave you. I'd be afraid and jealous, too. I'd like to think that I'd be able to find it in myself to be happy for the other person, or at the very least have the grace to cry out to the Lord for Him to return instead of taking vengeance on the one He left me for... but if I'm honest with myself I know that those responses would require the good fruits of the Spirit, not the fruits of the fleshly nature.
Question of the Day:
Deep down inside, what would your gut reaction be if the Lord's Spirit had been present in your life - so much as to the point where He had literally overtaken you on several occasions and moved your body for you, spoken with your mouth, and glorified Himself by your actions - but then left you forever? What would it take for you to keep the Lord's Spirit residing in your heart for all eternity?
Prayer of the Day:
Lord, I bow before Your feet and worship You as my King. I lay my life in Your hands and ask for the chance to serve You completely. Allow me to be moved by Your Spirit, to go where You tell me and act upon Your Word. I give myself unto You in service and will obey Your every command. Amen.
