Partners for Life

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,

but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God,

so that we may know and understand the

[wonderful] things freely given to us by God.”

I Corinthians 2:12

Partnership is defined as:

A relationship between individuals that is only possible by mutual cooperation and responsibility for the achievements of a specified goal.

There are partnerships between individuals in marriage and business for example.

There can be partnerships between nations; NATO would be an example.

But as we have been seeing, there is no more important partnership that can exist than the one between God and man.

Yes indeed, God wants to partner with you!

He wants to partner with you to accomplish all the good plans He has purposed for your life.

What is our part?

Look back to that definition – so you see the part about mutual cooperation and responsibility?

We cooperate with the Holy Spirit and take responsibility for those things He requires of us.

That requires things like faith, trust and perseverance because He sees all things when we cannot.

He may direct us in a way that seems contrary to our good but in the long run is both the necessary and right way to go.

A divine partnership will never, ever lead you astray.

Will you trust Him as your partner?
