June 19 Morning Devotional | The Spirit’s Rich Blessings | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, June 19 | “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” —Acts 2:4 (NASB)

This Morning's Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-4 (NASB)

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Devotional Video Transcript:

Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Spirit. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul would be impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit’s gracious presence.

As sacred oil, he anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office properly. As the only truly purifying water he cleanses us from the power of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord’s good pleasure. As the light, he manifested to us at first our lost estate, and now he reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us and guides us in the way of righteousness. Enlightened by his pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness but light in the Lord. As fire, he both purges us from dross and sets our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly dew, he removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that he would drop from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet commencement for the day. As the dove, with wings of peaceful love, he broods over his Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter, he dispels the cares and doubts that spoil the peace of his beloved. He descends upon the chosen as he did upon Christ at his baptism and bears witness to their sonship by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry “Abba, Father”. As the wind, he brings the breath of life to men; blowing where he wills, he performs the quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated and sustained.

Would to God, that we might feel his presence this day and every day.
