Acts 1:8, Ephesians 5:18-20

The power to live the Christian life and be a witness for Christ comes not from our own strength, but from the Holy Spirit. Today's readings remind us of the promise and command to be filled with the Spirit. This isn't a one-time event, but a daily surrender and dependence on God's power working in us. Take some time to pray, "Come, Holy Spirit." Ask God to fill you afresh with His presence and power. How might your day look different if you consciously relied on the Spirit's strength rather than your own? Let this be a practice you carry into each new day.
