My Attender

I've read this verse many times, and have thought about how glorious it was to have Angels come and attend to Jesus. They ministered to him straight from heavens glory, and they took care of every need he had, coming out of the 40 day fast. I was struck with something different today.

Scripture
Matthew 4:11
Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him

Observation
After 40 days and 40 nights of tempting, Jesus needed an "infusion" (to speak) and it came straight from his Fathers throne and glory in the form of angels.

Application

Here's what is different this morning. Jesus was attended by angels. Who am I attended by? And when am I attended? I've never fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. The Bible says in John 16 where Jesus is speaking; John 16 7-8 7But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

Jesus continues:

13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.

Jesus sent me his attender-The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will give me and make known to me what Jesus is. Think about that and read it again. Jesus sent me a Counselor, The Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, so that I would have 1) A Guide, 2)The words of Jesus immediately interpreted and spoken to me, 3)Tell me things about my future and the future, 4)Make the things of Jesus know to me.

So what am I going to do with my Attender today? Am I too busy doing these earthly functions to sit down with my Attender and have him reveal more of Jesus to me? How do I do that? It is through meditation and talking with my Attender. The Bible says in Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. What a keen idea! If I keep the Word of God in my heart, so it does not depart from my mouth, and meditate on all of it, Jesus has told me that he will reveal all things through the Holy Spirit. The question is, will I be a regular attendee with my Attender, or will I only talk and hope the Attender is there when I am in trouble?

Prayer

Father, What a gift you have given me! You have given me Christ the Saviour of my life and then you provided a direct line from Christ for me. You have told me that I will never be alone. You provide all things. My Attender, the Holy Spirit is ready to reveal more of Jesus to me. I open myself up for that, and ask that you would continue your work in me as I metamorphosis from a human trying to be spiritual, into a spirit-led person who just happens to be human. Amen.
