Christians in a Post-Christian World / September 2010, Glimpse
Prayer
It was a magnificent sight: eight Tall Ships under full sail entering the Duluth, Minnesota harbor in August. They were greeted by a fleet of pleasure craft and sailboats that looked tiny by comparison. What caught my eye were the masts and the sails – strong enough to withstand a gale, but totally dependent on the wind for power. How like our lives – totally dependent on the Holy Spirit for power!
Want to live your life so it honors Jesus? Want to tell your classmates what Jesus does for you? Remember Jesus’ promise to his disciples: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:7). May our prayer be: “Lord, please fill my sails.”
