The book of Acts starts with the promised coming of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:5 (NLT)
“… in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:3-4
Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit.
The rest of the book tells of the amazing things Christ’s followers accomplished in the power of the Holy Spirit.
It’s all about God. It always is.
Good morning, Lord. Here I am, making this prayer time all about me. I pray for my needs, the needs of my friends and loved ones, the issues I care about. I tell You what I think should be done. Turn it upside down, O God. Let’s make this all about You. Teach me to listen for Your direction, to ask You to have Your way with folks around me (those I love and those I tend to ignore). Put the issues You care about heavy on my heart.
Your will, O Lord, not mine be done.
