Anticipating Pentecost
Fourth Week of Eastertide Day 22: Counselor - John 14:16 Day 23: Remind - John 14:16 Day 24: Testify - John 15:26 Day 25: Truth - John 16:13 Day 26: Anointed - Luke 4:18 Day 27: Love - Romans 5:5 Day 28: Body - 1 Corinthians 6:19 |
These devotions each week along with these Pauses for Pentecost One Words & Scripture really help me to focus each day. You may notice that the same verse is used for Day 22 & Day 23 because both of these One Words are in this verse, yet in the book, Trevor Hudson takes the first part of the verse for Day 22 (and I found that the CSB & HCSB versions use the One Word "Counselor" whereas other versions use Advocate, Helper, Comforter) and the last part of the verse for Day 23 - you can compare here all the versions. Of course the Amplified expands on even more terms for the "Counselor" besides those listed it adds Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby for the Holy Spirit, Paraclete, who is all this and more.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you." HCSB |
* take note of the second part of the Prayer of St, Francis
" ... grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console ..."
Let us be "instruments of Peace - God's Peace"
May these One Words draw you closer to the Holy Spirit alive in us!
This was all very informative and interesting!
