๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ Tethered Together

๐Ÿ‘ŸToday while eating with my family we witnessed one the most remarkable acts of service, I think I have ever seen. On television they were broadcasting The Special Olympics. They showed the Blind 400m race. The race requires the blind athlete to be tethered to their guide by a string. The purpose of the guide is to help the athlete align up correctly and to be their "governor". ๐ŸšYears ago car manufactures would place a governor on specific types of vehicles like a school or city bus to prevent it from going above a set speed. When I was in high school Odell Sidberry used to drive our bus and I am not saying he did but somebody took the governor off our school bus. Man we would hit those back roads flying down the road, LOL ๐ŸคAnyway, as the athlete is racing, their partner is running no faster than the blind athlete so they can stay in alignment with each other. This visual immediately made me think of the Holy Spirit. ๐Ÿ”ฅThe Holy Spirit (IF YOU LET HIM) will tether his-self to you and run WITH you. He will prevent you from going any faster than the plan God has for your life. He will ASSIST you in staying the course and guiding you through the race of your life to cross the finish line. If you fall in your lane, no worries the Holy Spirit will be there to comfort you, help you get up and start your race again. If you get off course or not aligned in the race correctly - the Holy Spirit will gently chide you to bring you back into alignment. ❤️As we move through our Christian journey, let's make sure that we do not forget to acknowledge the Holy Spirit. Remember, our faith is rooted in the Trinity. A Triune God. God the Father. God the Son. God the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4: 3-6 NKJV 3 "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in [c]you all. ๐ŸŒฌ️Acknowledge the Holy Spirit daily, stay in communication with him. The more you stay in communication (relationship) with the Holy Spirit - the easier it is to hear his voice . In the same way, that when you are in love or as a child you know your parents voice. Get to know the Spirit of the Lord in such an intimate way - that you beckon to his call immediately. I hope this helps those in their walk to strive to be more Christ like.
