Countdown to Pentecost (Day 4)

“It is not any new story wanted nor any new power needed.
It is the same old story of the Gospel of redeeming love and the same old power of the Holy Ghost.” - D.L. Moody

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” - Zech. 4:6

Holy Spirit,
Forgive us for chasing new things that flash brightly only to get our attention.
We are still so often like children on Christmas afternoon, already bored with our gifts that we received just hours earlier.
Forgive us for forsaking the “old story” and the “old power.”
Help us plumb the beautiful depths of the timeless story of the Father’s love and Jesus’ sacrifice - all made real to us by the Spirit’s power.
We declare our faith in the Gospel.
We receive our power from the Ghost.
In the “old” and faithful and proven name of Jesus we pray, Amen!
