A Daily Devotion for Tuesday, June 14

1 Thessalonians 5: 19-22

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.

We need the Holy Spirit to help us to know what is good and what is evil. It is not always that easy to tell. I have always had a very active conscience. Sometimes overactive, really. But along with that is a gut level sense of whether I am doing the right thing. I have always felt this was the Holy Spirit letting me know if I was about to screw up. But it is more difficult to see through others’ motives. Prayer and guidance from God will help us to know what is important for us to know.

Holy Lord, help me to keep on the path you have set for me. Help me to be led by what is good, and to set aside what is evil. With you, I can do anything. Amen
