APRIL 27
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you (John 16:13, 14).
An American, with an Englishman, was viewing Niagara Falls. Taking his friend to the foot of the gigantic cataract, he exclaimed, "There is the greatest unused power in the world!"
"Ah, no, my brother; you are mistaken" was the quick reply. "The greatest unused power in the world is the Holy Spirit of the living God." Is the Holy Spirit using us, guiding us? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, and He will guide us into all truth.
We were visiting the great Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. How beautiful and wonderful they were--one marvel after another as we threaded our way through twisting and turning passageways, galleries, rooms, grottoes, on past the Rock of Ages to the great Throne Room itself. However, we could never have found our way through the labyrinthine ways without our guide, who led us step by step to reveal the marvels and glories to us.
The truth is like that--like a vast cavern. But we must have a guide or we shall lose our way. The Spirit of truth leads us step by step, room by room, passageway by passageway; and He always takes us by the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus, into the great Throne Room of the final revelation of God. The Holy Spirit inspired the Holy Scriptures, for "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:21). Therefore all that He speaks directly to the heart is in harmony with what is written in the Holy Book. He guides us into "all truth," so that we shall not be one-sided and out of balance. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. How? By receiving the things of Christ and showing them to us. The Holy Spirit is the one who makes real in me what Jesus did for me.
MEDITATION PRAYER: "Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths" (Ps. 25:4).
