It's up to You

Here's an interesting thought: In Old Testament days, God placed his Holy Spirit in certain individuals to accomplish special tasks. We have examples of God inhabiting leaders, prophets, kings, artisans, warriors, etc. With the Holy Spirit in them, they were able to accomplish what God called them to do.

Now, since New Testament days, God places his Holy Spirit in every Christian. I believe that means every Christian has a special task God wants them to accomplish. And by the Holy Spirit in them, they can accomplish what God calls them to do.

Of course, we also have examples of God's Spirit being in people who did not complete the work he set aside for them. I'm thinking of King Saul, who decided he was more concerned with his image among the people than doing what God wanted him to do. We see where that led him!

So what's it going to be with you? As a believer, God has placed his Holy Spirit in you for many reasons- one of which is to accomplish certain things for His Kingdom. Are you going to be an example like King David or King Saul?

It's up to you.
