How well do you know the Holy Spirit? Many live their entire Christian life with the Spirit of God within, and yet fail to understand how He works in and through the believer. A true and growing knowledge of God includes knowledge of all three members of the Godhead – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit!

Like all spiritual truth, our understanding of the Holy Spirit must be rooted, not in our subjective experience, but in God’s eternal Word. The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself. If you want to know the Spirit, you must meet Him in the Scriptures.

God is a Spirit” (John 4:24) and “no man hath seen God at any time” (John 1:18). Our understanding of the Holy Spirit does not come through physical sight; it comes through the eye of faith and the lens of the Word. In both the Old and New Testaments the Lord gives a variety of symbols which represent the person and work of His Spirit.

Our new Enjoying the Journey series begins next week, and I would like to invite you to join us as we open God’s inspired picture Book and see the Spirit in the Scriptures. Each symbol will give us yet another glimpse of the invisible God. Follow the new study on your favorite podcast player or at enjoyingthejourney.org.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” – John 14:26

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
