He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
(Acts 1:3-5 ESV)
Jesus repeated His promises often in different ways on different occasions. We need that. The same is true of the Holy Spirit. Not only are we thick, needing reminders; we need patience - being willing to wait for His promise. Every time, it's worth the wait. He knows what we need, and we definitely need the Holy Spirit. May we wait on Him today to lead and empower us.
