Psalm
Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices.
Psalm 37:7
Meditation
Then they received the Holy Spirit of promise, whereby they were sealed unto for the day of redemption. They were prepared as blank paper, not to be inscribed with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. So evident is the inscription, that it is known and read of all. This is designed of God for the good of all. For the manifestation of the Spirit is given to or for all that all may be profited. This inscription written by the Spirit of God on the fleshly table of the heart is that strong bias in the Christian to holiness.
Barton W. Stone, Christian Messenger (1843), 366
Scripture
Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the ruler, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Acts 13:1-3
Prayer
Lord Jesus, open the ears of my heart so I may hear your Spirit today. Holy Spirit, lead me into holiness.
