Mark 1:7-8 And he (John the baptist) preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
- Yesterday we read in Ezekiel 36:26 that God promised in the Old Testament that He will clean His people outside and in - a complete renewal.
- Today we read that Jesus Christ fulfils that promise.
- Being baptized with His Spirit places a new desire in your heart to please God through the way that you live.
- You either have this desire or you don't. We sometimes subdue this desire... or in other cases pretend to have this desire while we don't. Tomorrow we will read how to get this new desire.
Our Father in Heaven, some of us long to please you but struggle with sin's hold on our lives. Others of us long to know you so that we can desire to please you. Would you strengthen our weak hearts by the power of your Spirit to give us a relentless commitment to live for you. Amen
