.indented { padding-left: 20pt; }

[Peter, on Pentecost, quoting from Joel 2:]
"In those days I [God] will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants — men and women alike —
and they will prophesy."
— Acts 2:18 NLT
Thought
Luke emphasizes in Acts that the coming of the Holy Spirit wasn't to just a select few leaders for a limited period of time. (Also see yesterday's Thought and Acts 2:17.) When the Holy Spirit came and began the "last days" era of God's work, the Spirit came to all disciples — young and old, men and women, slave and free, regardless of nationality or race (Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 4:1-7). All of God's servants have the powerful presence of God through the Holy Spirit living in them and working through them to reveal the message of God and accomplish his work!
Prayer
Father in heaven, I know you are also the Father within me through the Holy Spirit. Use me to reveal your will and do your work in my time, with the people you have placed near me, to bring you glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
