AATHAVAN – January 30, 2025 – Thursday 💚
"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." (Psalm 32:8)
Today's meditation verse contains the very words spoken by the Holy Spirit through David.
In this world, we are familiar with the wisdom and moral teachings of various scholars. Tamil literature contains numerous ethical works. Thirukkural, known as the “world’s scripture,” is one of the greatest ethical works in our Tamil language. However, no matter how many moral books exist, they do not help us live according to their principles. These books simply state moral truths but do not guide us in applying them.
But in today's meditation verse, the Lord says: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."
This means that God does not merely instruct us; the Holy Spirit promises to show us the way to live according to His words. Furthermore, just as a mother or father lovingly watches over their child, God assures us that He will keep His eye upon us and give us counsel.
Many scholars who authored ethical works have passed away and are no more. However, the Holy Spirit, who has spoken God's words, is eternally alive. When we read any book, we may have doubts about its meaning, which can only be clarified by someone who understands the text. The author of that book cannot personally come to each of us and explain its true meaning. But the Holy Spirit, who is the author of the Scriptures, is alive and is with us. He declares, "I will instruct thee and teach thee... I will guide thee with mine eye."
Dear beloved, we must experience the presence and guidance of this Holy Spirit in our lives. The Lord reveals this truth about the New Covenant through David in today’s meditation verse. Additionally, God confirmed this through the prophet Jeremiah:
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord..." (Jeremiah 31:33-34)
The writer of Hebrews also reminds us of this promise in the New Testament (Hebrews 8:10-11). Yes, dear ones, the Holy Spirit writes His words in our hearts, teaches us, and guides us. Only when we receive this counsel from the Holy Spirit can we live a true and spiritually enriched life. Therefore, it is our duty to pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ said: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16:13)
