November 26: John 3:27-36

Key Verse: John 3:34
For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

Devotion:
Have you ever wondered how you could ever be as faithful as another person or as filled with the Spirit as another person? Have you ever wondered why God would want to be with you? That is just our own doubts and insecurities jumping in and certainly not what Jesus teaches us or what we read about in the bible. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to come and fill us. He did not say that He would send just a little bit of the Spirit or a certain percentage.

We cannot measure what God gives us because we do not know the bounds of what He has to give us. We cannot say that He gives more to someone else than He gives to us. We cannot say that He has a limited amount to give away. All of this says that we are limiting the power of God in our minds to something we can think about and something we can handle.

It does not have to be measured as to how much we believe before we can receive God into our lives. It is the single fact that we do believe, no matter how little or how much, it is that single step of belief that starts it all. God then gives to us and we grow in Him. God supplies and we accept. As long as we do continue believing and accepting we can be sure that it will be given to us how much we need. In this I am not talking about the Spirit because He is the whole and not part.

If you feel like you head is going to explode with the amount of information you have to think about when considering God, then you are probably getting closer to understanding more about Him. God is God of Heaven and earth. He is God of everything, not just you and I. He is the one who has created this all because He loves us. He is the one who IS and forever WILL BE. When God told Moses to tell the people “I AM” sent him, it was a promise of a past, present and future. Believe and receive!

Points to Ponder:
Do you struggle with your belief?

Take that ounce of belief and use it!
