“The Holy Spirit Has His Own Desires and Will”
Sixth, the Holy Spirit has His own desires and will. In 1 Corinthians we read that the gifts of the Spirit are “empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills” (12:11). This is an important reminder of who is in control. Just as we don’t get to choose which gifts we are given, so also we don’t get to choose what God intends for us or for the church. The Spirit has a plan for our lives, for each of us. And He has a plan for the church, including your individual church body and the worldwide body of Christ.
If you are like me, you probably have a plan for your own life, for your church, and maybe even for the larger body of Christ. That’s why we all desperately need to pray, as Christ did, “Not my will, but yours be done.”
* Do you find it comforting, or frightening, that the Holy Spirit already has a plan for your life? What characteristics of God would you have to meditate on in order for this to be comforting rather than frightening?
