I'd like to talk to you about protecting the most precious thing in your life, the Holy Spirit. There are many things that mean a lot to us, like our career or home, that are transient. But our relationship with the Holy Spirit is infinitely more valuable: it is our connection with the eternal spirit of God. The Old Testament describes the outcome of a man who valued God's Spirit that inhabited the Ark of the Covenant and cared over it for some time. God blessed him, and his family, and his descendants. There is a lasting blessing on the man who values the Holy Spirit.
