“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD — and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.”
Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)
This week we will focus on some qualities of the Spirit of the Lord as Isaiah describes the Spirit resting upon Jesus! This same Spirit that filled Jesus has been given by Him to all who would choose to be prepared by the Spirit, and for the Spirit. As Jesus grew “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man”, He did so by the same Spirit given to you and me. Pray that the Spirit would be evident in your life by the fruit which it produces. Pray for a faithfulness in following Jesus by the power and guidance of His Spirit. Pray that the confirmation of God’s Spirit in the life of Jesus would lead you to follow Him with a whole heart. Pray for an obedient spirit within you that would always respond well to the truth of God’s Word. Pray that the light of Jesus would be seen brightly in you as you walk by the Spirit.
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.”
Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
As you pray this week, pray that your life would represent the Spirit of the Lord resting upon you on a daily basis. Pray that God’s Spirit would fill you with His wisdom as you seek His face. Pray that the wisdom of God would be evident in your speech and your actions as you grow in your knowledge of Him.
