Today is the day of Pentecost. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was given. He was sent to be our guide and help navigate our lives. Pentecost is the 4th feast of Israel and in Genesis on the 4th day God created the sun, moon, and stars which we use for time, signs, seasons, and navigation.
When we navigate our lives, we can rely on God's Holy Spirit to guide us into the way of love. When navigating our lives I think there are three paths we can choose when faced with tough decisions.
Path 1 = Retaliating, quiting, leaving, doing evil back to those who wrong us.
Path 2 = Doing nothing, withdrawing your presence, holding things in and being bitter and frustrated.
Path 3 = Choosing to grow in our love no matter what is going on around us.
Pentecost is a reminder that God has given us a covenant of love. He chose path 3. He could have retaliated against us, left us, or withdrew his presence from us but he chose the way of love and poured out everything he had on us including his Spirit.
We are often faced with these decisions in our relationships, workplace, business or ministry, health, etc. When these times come choose Path 3. Choose to do good and love at an even higher level, no matter what is going on around you. Keep the covenant of love. Path 1 will make things worse, path 2 will keep you stuck and even more frustrated, but path 3 will set you free.
