Scripture: Revelation (NIV) 1:9   I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet…

Observation: John was exiled on the island of Patmos, but he was in the Spirit. The Roman government could separate him from his family and friends, but they could not separate him from the Holy Spirit. They could keep him from visiting with his family, but they could not keep the Holy Spirit from visiting with John!

Application: Nothing in the world can keep the Holy Spirit from being with me and talking to me!   I am never alone! He is always with me. I always have Someone to talk to. I always have Someone to listen to!

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, what a special ministry you have to me/people today. You are the relationship link that keeps me/us connected to my/our Heavenly Father.  Amen
