Today's devotion was the theme of my sermon today so if you are interested in finding out what I said, go to our website and check out the sermon tab.
The quotation that I found the most compelling in today's devotion was, "The skills we have practiced, the wisdom we have gained little by little--these expand dramatically when the Spirit in us inspires and equips us for challenging, demanding tasks." The Holy Spirit uses the things that we have learned, gained skill in, worked at when no one was watching, in the effort we expended to gain competencies. If we haven't learned or gained skill, the Holy Spirit isn't going to magically anoint us with it. But the Holy Spirit can "expand dramatically" those skills that we have learned over time.
