On the Day of Pentecost, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages as the Spirit enabled them. The crowd was amazed and perplexed and some were drawn to God, while others mocked and misunderstood. This passage reminds us that the Spirit’s work is powerful, purposeful, and sometimes puzzling to the world.

If we live by the Spirit, we must also keep in step with the Spirit. Living by the Spirit is not passive as it requires intentional alignment with His leading every day.
