When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. -John 16:13 St. Nicholas Church in Galway, Ireland, has both a long history and an active present. Its the oldest church in Ireland, and it provides guidance in a very practical way. The church towers over the town, and its steeple is used by ships captains as a guide for navigating their way safely into Galway Bay. For centuries, this church has reliably pointed the way home for sailors. We can all certainly identify with the need for guidance. In fact, Jesus addressed this very need during His Upper Room Discourse. He said that after His departure the Holy Spirit would play a crucial role in the lives of believers. As part of that role, Jesus promised, When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth (John 16:13). What a marvelous provision! In a world of confusion and fear, guidance is often needed. We can easily be misdirected by the culture around us or by the brokenness within us (1 John 2:15-17). Gods Spirit, however, is here to help, to direct, and to guide. How thankful we can be that the Spirit of truth has come to give us the guidance that we often so desperately need. Set your course by His life, and you will reach safe harbor.
