“But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.” John 14:26 NLT
Growing up, I was called “complain commissioner” because I complained about every problem I spotted, including those I could actually solve. I felt complaining was the right response to tackle whatever made me uncomfortable.
Then as a teenager, something switched on in my head. I vowed to quit living up to that name and instead fix things that were within my power to fix. The nickname died a natural death.
To be this new person, I had to ask many questions. Saying “Lord, what do I do?” became a common and unconscious question that I’d ask. During the pre-Google days, I would get inspiration from a movie, cartoon, book, or random conversations. So while I may not get the answers by hearing a booming voice from heaven, I get led to different sources in most cases.
When we need knowledge beyond what we can consciously remember, there are several sources we can get answers from. But I believe that in order to get those answers, we need the right navigator – the Holy Spirit.
He has his ways of leading you to the right person, place, group or thing that will give you what you seek, but you have to ask Him first.
You have the source of all knowledge at your fingertips. Leverage this advantage and see the wonders you begin to experience in life.
