GRIEVE NOT THE SPIRIT
„ And not the holy Spirit
q{ God whereby ye are SPa led
un t 0 j be da y 0 j redemption.”
gp bes j ans 4 : 30 ,
rp de suc cess of our spiritual life
depends upon maintaining a vital
relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Salvation is not a deposit placed
wjth ug t0 keep independent of, j
the Giver. It is a relationship. We
^ savgd or have elernal U f e ,
because we have been brought child.! into j
re)ationship to God as H i s
^ are sanctified because we have
ded j cated ourselves completely to j
chrjgt a gift of our love to H im,
^ ^ yery God of peace sanct i
fjeg ug wholly. This relation is the
wofk thp Ho | y s p i r it. He works
withiQ the changes and experi
enceg needed to br ,ng us j n to this
relationship; He baptizes us into
Ch[ . jsti sheds the Jove of God
abt -oad in our lives and enables
^ ^ en j oy fellowship ii God the
Fa(her and jn Hig Son _ Therefore
| . o rjvilege to maintam an d
( . ultivate thig relationship with the
| H Spiri , and thereby grow Ln
* and !hg knowJed of oU r
^ – Chr ist.
I Let us learn the lesson thor*
Highly that the Holy Spirit is not
with us. h.
J ^ s s ^ s Torever
” He is
« as some
think , g g t _ mfim te
^er, us. who who sees thoroughly and know, understands the inner j
™°tives and thoughts of our lives
There is never a fluctuation on
Hi s side of this relationship. Yet
Paul warns us that we may grieve
the Holy Spirit. It is evident, then,
that there may be such fluctuation
in our relationship with Him as
to grieve Him. His heart may be
saddened, his feelings wounded,
and He may actually be pained by
our actions. Is not this grief of the
same nature of that experienced
by two lovers here?
Those who love are sometimes
wounded and their hearts are
grieved by careless, thoughtless
acts of those they love. But that
does not break the relationship.
Contrary to this those who truly
love suffer in silence, bearing the ;
pain patiently with no visible in
Nation ot the wound felt in the
heart yet the loved one is gnev
ed. Deep and sincere love is the
very basis of such gr.ef. If the
^ve was not so deep he grieving
would not be so keenly felt. We
therefore, may cause C-oa deep
and grief, because He loves
us so, ’ but such grieving need not
break the relationship , , . of , love, ,
^ gUch actions
d conditions as to constantly
bring grief to Him will eventually
cause us to quench the Spirit and
the heart wiil be left void of Hi»
presence.
The Holy Spirit may be grieved
by our failure to Jet Him be ail He
desires to be to tne Child of God. ]
It is sad that many are like the j
Galatians, they have begun in the
Spirit but they are striving to be
perfect by their own efforts. They
struggle on in the spiritual life,
all too frequently Ignoring the as
sistance ana teachings of the Holy
Spirit who waits and longs to
give them the needed assistance. j
How often Hi.$ tender heart s
grieved as He sees Christians
struggling in their own efforts
against the foes in the spiritual
realm, painfully conscious of their
own limitations but gnoiant or
heedless of His willingness to pro
vide strength and victory in the
contlict. His assistance, His wis- ,
dom and His strength are avail
able at all times, but are bene
tic.al to the Christian only as he '
recognizes and appropriates them
to his own life.
We always need the guidence
and leadership of the Holy Spirit
in our lives, and He is more anxi
ous to give this guidance than we
are to have it. We may have it
only as we open our hearts to Hun
and confidently trust Him. The
mistakes and munders in our hie
that come by our failure to seek
His guidance bring grief to His
heart. The God-guided life is
pleasing to God. Any self-reliance
griev es the Holy Spirit.
It is a gracious privilege of the
Christian to walk in the Spirit,
There are varying degrees of this
walk in the Spirit. It includes all
from the Christian in the weak-
est stages of His spiritual life who ;
gives obedietfCe to God, to the
highest attainment of spiritual
strength and development possi
ble in this worid. The Israelites
just on the Canaan side of the
Jordan were in the land, bus
others made conquest and p ssess
ed the land. Just as the tathei
must adjust his steps to that ot
his little son, if he is to walk with
him, just so must the Holy Spirit
adjust His stesp to ours, but as
long as we walk close to Hu in
j the path of perfect obedience He
will never iea\e us nor forsake
us. His heart is passed if we be
' come careless in little things, uri
mindful of His checks upon oui
| hearts or fail to heed of His lead
ings in small matters.
It is astonishing how much real
satisfaction and blessing are
brought to the Christian hfe by
just lovingly following Christ,

Georgia farmers have lost an
estimated total of $616,863.000

With no thought of it being a
duty or a matter of compulsion,;
but having it as the chief delight |
of the heart. Such a life is never
burdensome. Nothing inspired by
love is burdensome. In this re
lationship we do not live in the!
bondage of fear, but in the glori
ous liberty of the children of God.
We are guided and empowered
the Holy Spirit and walk m the
newness of life. Then He is too
dear for us to consciously grieve
Him. We appreciate Him and ve
joice in His presence and would
not for one moment wilfully fol
low him afar off, or ignore His
presence and guidance. The
to keep from grieving the Spiiit

; in all things.
