The Outpouring of the Spirit

Reading: Joel 2:28–32; Acts 2:14–21

Devotional: Joel's prophecy finds its fulfillment in the day of Pentecost. The Spirit of God is no longer confined to a select few but is poured out on all believers. This is not just ancient history - it's your present reality as a follower of Christ. How aware are you of the Spirit's presence in your daily life? Are you living with the expectation that God can and will use you, regardless of your age, gender, or social status? Today, ask God to heighten your awareness of His Spirit within you. Look for opportunities to be led by the Spirit in your interactions, decisions, and prayers.

Reflection Question: How aware are you of the Holy Spirit’s presence in your everyday decisions and interactions?

Action Step: Before making one key decision today, pause and ask, “Holy Spirit, lead me.”
