The Spirit Is A PLEDGE of Our Inheritance | Debbie Taylor Williams

“Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God; who gave to us the Spirit as a PLEDGE.”

2 Corinthians 5:5

God’s eternal purpose is for us to live with Him in glory. We won’t see the fulness of His glory until we close our eyes on earth and open them in heaven. But in the meantime, we have God’s Spirit with us, in us, as a pledge that we are His; that our inheritance awaits us.

Today, we may be gathering with family or friends. Or, we may be alone, heartbroken, or struggling. Even if we can’t think of one other thing for which to be thankful, we can think on this: God gave us HIS SPIRIT as a PLEDGE. Everything on earth will one day be gone. God’s Spirit, given to you, is eternal and of more value than anything or any person. If you are a believer, there is reason to be thankful. Abundant reason.

Lord God, thank You for giving us the Spirit as a PLEDGE. Help us think on how incredible the gift of Your Spirit is and let those thoughts fill us with joy.
