Verse
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
Thought
The Holy Spirit brings hope. There is the short-term hope the Spirit brings through his comforting and enabling presence. But the Spirit also brings hope through the promise of Scripture and God's visions for us of greater things ahead. In a time of unspeakable danger and fear, where the call was to be faithful even to the point of death, this vision given by the Spirit is one of victory and hope. The Spirit brings hope — not a wish for a better future, but the assurance that a glorious future awaits us.
Prayer
O Father of mercy, thank you for giving me the assurance that a victorious future awaits. Thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit as a gift, a down payment, guaranteeing that glorious future. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
