Today's Verse for 03/09/2021
Thought
When the Spirit lives in us, we don't need a law to guide us. The Spirit produces the character that God desires, which is well beyond what any law would require (cf. Gal. 5:22-23). While the Law can teach us God's will and reveal to us what is sinful, the Law can't fix our sinfulness nor empower us to live according to God's will. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit can cleanse, transform, empower, and inspire us to be what God calls us to be in ways no law can (Romans 8:1-4; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18). Let's thank God for his loving and empowering presence in us through his Spirit!
Prayer
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew me by your Spirit dwelling within me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
