“Glorifying Jesus Together”

📖 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
 —John 16:14 (NKJV)

As a family, we talk about a lot of things—school, work, meals, chores, plans.
But how often do we talk about Jesus in a way that truly lifts Him up?

Jesus said the Holy Spirit’s mission is to glorify Him.
That means making Jesus the center, the focus, and the treasure in all we do.
The Spirit teaches us what Jesus said, shows us how Jesus lived, and helps us follow Him together.

Imagine a home where the name of Jesus is honored in conversations, decisions, and attitudes.
That’s what the Spirit wants to build—a family where Christ is glorified.

Family Discussion:

  • How can we glorify Jesus as a family this week?
  • Are there habits or conversations we need to change to keep Jesus at the center?

Family Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, we want to glorify Jesus in our home.
Please help us speak kindly, live truthfully, and point to Him in all we do.
Teach us as a family to know, follow, and honor Jesus together.
In His name, Amen.

“Spirit-Given Words”

📖 “He will tell you things to come.”
 —John 16:13b (NKJV)

There is something deeply reassuring about being told what lies ahead—not so we can control it, but so we can be prepared and faithful in the waiting.

Jesus told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would not only guide them into truth, but also declare things to come.
Not vague impressions. Not wishful thinking.
But Spirit-spoken clarity rooted in the will of the Father and the testimony of the Son.

The early Church walked with this expectancy.
They moved forward not because they had a five-year plan,
but because they were led by the Spirit who sees beyond time.

Dear sister, God may not give you every detail,
but He hasn’t left you in the dark.

He has sent the Spirit to illuminate the path, to warn, to encourage, and to equip.
When He prompts, speak.
When He reveals, trust.
When He says, “Go,” do not fear.

Reflection:

  • Am I willing to listen when the Spirit speaks of what’s ahead—even if it challenges my comfort?
  • Do I discern the voice of the Holy Spirit in my personal walk and in the Word?

Prayer:
 Lord, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who speaks what I need to hear in season and in truth. Teach me to listen with faith, to respond with obedience, and to rest in Your perfect knowledge of what lies ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Knows What’s Coming”

📖 “He will tell you things to come.”
 —John 16:13b (NKJV)

Have you ever wished you knew what would happen tomorrow?

Jesus told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would help them know what was ahead—not so they could always know the future like a superhero, but so they would trust God and follow His lead.

When something big is coming—like moving to a new house, starting a new grade, or even facing something hard—God doesn’t leave us alone.
He gives us His Spirit to prepare our hearts and help us stay close to Him.

Even if we don’t know all the details, we can trust that the Holy Spirit knows.
And He is always right.

Think About It:

  • Have you ever felt something important in your heart and knew God was helping you get ready?
  • How can you practice listening for God’s voice today?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for knowing everything—even the things I don’t understand yet. Please help me trust You and follow You wherever You lead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“God Already Knows What’s Coming”

📖 “He will tell you things to come.”
 —John 16:13b (NKJV)

It’s easy to feel anxious about the future—college, relationships, careers, the world falling apart on social media.
You’re not alone. But Jesus made a promise:
The Holy Spirit doesn’t just know the future—He tells us what we need to know in time.

That doesn’t mean you’ll get spoilers for everything that’s going to happen.
It means the Holy Spirit will warn you, prepare you, or strengthen you when things are coming.
Not so you can worry—but so you can walk in wisdom and faith.

The early believers didn’t guess their way through life.
They listened to the Spirit.
Sometimes He gave them peace.
Sometimes He told them to move.
Sometimes He showed them hard things, but always with hope.

So when the future feels blurry, remember:
God isn’t guessing.
He already knows.
And His Spirit walks with you.

For Real:

  • Do you ever feel nervous about what’s coming next in life?
  • How could inviting the Holy Spirit into those thoughts change your mindset?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I don’t know what’s coming, but You do. Help me trust You, listen to You, and walk with You. Don’t let fear lead me—let faith grow in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“He Will Tell You Things to Come”

📖 “He will tell you things to come.”
 —John 16:13b (NKJV)

One of the most precious truths Jesus gave His disciples before He went to the cross was this:
The Holy Spirit would not only guide them in truth but also prepare them for what was ahead.

As Christian families navigating an uncertain world, we don’t need to fear the unknown.
The Holy Spirit is still doing what Jesus promised—telling us the things to come,
not to make us anxious, but to anchor us in faith and obedience.

When we take time as a family to seek the Lord together, the Holy Spirit strengthens us,
gives peace before decisions, prepares us for change, and reminds us that God is in control.

This is a powerful reminder for mothers guiding their children:
you don’t have to have all the answers.
You just need to walk with the One who does.

Family Discussion:

  • Can you think of a time when God helped your family prepare for something ahead of time?
  • How can you listen more closely as a family when the Holy Spirit speaks?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for being our Helper and Comforter. Thank You for preparing us for things we cannot see and teaching us to trust You completely. Help our family walk together in peace, knowing You go before us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Day 52 — “He Will Guide You Into All Truth”

📖 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”
 —John 16:13a (NKJV)

There are many voices speaking to us each day.
Some sound wise. Some feel spiritual.
But only one voice leads us into truth—the Holy Spirit.

He is not just a helper in hard times; He is the Spirit of truth.
He doesn’t echo our emotions or personal desires.
He teaches what God has already spoken—and leads us into alignment with His Word.

In a world filled with confusion, deception, and compromise,
we desperately need the Spirit’s discernment.

He doesn’t flatter. He doesn’t twist. He doesn’t appease.
He leads.

And when He leads, it’s always toward Jesus, always grounded in Scripture, and always for God’s glory.

Reflection Questions:

  • Am I listening for the Holy Spirit’s voice in my decisions and daily life?
  • Is truth shaping my walk, or my feelings?

Prayer:
 Spirit of truth, lead me. Guard my heart from deception. Help me recognize Your voice above all others, and walk in the clarity and peace of Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Leads Us the Right Way”

📖 “When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”
 —John 16:13a (NKJV)

Have you ever followed a trail or used a map?

It helps you get to the right place without getting lost.

The Holy Spirit is like a guide for our hearts.

He helps us know what’s true and what is not.

When we read the Bible or talk to God,
The Holy Spirit helps us understand what God wants us to do.

He shows us how to make good choices,
how to be honest, kind, and brave for Jesus.

Think About It:

  • What are some things the Holy Spirit helps you understand about Jesus?
  • How can you follow His leading at school or at home?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me know what’s true. Please guide me today and help me follow Jesus with my whole heart. Amen.

“Following Truth, Not Trends”

📖 “When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”
 —John 16:13a (NKJV)

You’ve got a lot coming at you—
Influencers. Algorithms. Opinions.
But truth doesn’t trend. It’s eternal.

The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of truth for a reason.
He doesn’t shift with culture.
He doesn’t twist truth to make it more popular.
He leads you into what is real, pure, and right—always.

He’s not just there to comfort you—He’s there to lead you.
But are you following?

If you want truth, ask Him.
If you feel confused, talk to Him.
He doesn’t shout—but He speaks clearly to the heart that listens.

Think About It:

  • What voices are shaping your thinking right now?
  • Are you willing to follow truth even if it costs you popularity?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I want to know the truth and walk in it. Help me ignore the noise and follow Your lead, even when it’s hard. Make me someone who stands for what’s right in a world full of lies. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“Guided by the Spirit of Truth”

📖 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.”
 —John 16:13a (NKJV)

There is no shortage of voices trying to influence our families today—
social media, education systems, entertainment, even friends.
But the Holy Spirit has been given to believers to guide us into all truth, not just some truth or comfortable truth—but the truth that reflects Jesus Christ.

This promise is not just for individual Christians—
It’s a blessing for families who want to walk together in faith.

As mothers, we are called to shape our homes with the truth of God’s Word,
modeling dependence on the Holy Spirit,
and training our children to recognize His voice over the clamor of the world.

Truth is not relative. It’s not based on feelings.
It’s grounded in God’s Word and made alive in us by the Spirit.

Discussion Prompt:

  • How can we invite the Holy Spirit to guide our family in everyday decisions?
  • Are there voices in our home that need to be quieted so we can hear His?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, we invite You to lead our home. Teach us what is true, protect us from deception, and help us walk together in Your light. May our home glorify Jesus in all things. Amen.

Day 51 — “He Shall Glorify Me”

📖 “He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
 —John 16:14 (KJV)

So much of the Christian walk comes down to one question:
Who is getting the glory?

The Holy Spirit makes it clear. He always points to Christ.
He does not glorify Himself.
He glorifies the Son.

That’s how we know when something is of the Spirit:
It lifts up Jesus—
Not personalities, not platforms, not emotions, and not even signs or wonders.
Only Jesus.

When we submit our hearts to the Spirit’s leading,
He reveals the beauty, majesty, humility, and lordship of Christ.

And in every situation—whether in the mundane or the miraculous—He teaches us to say:
“To Him be the glory.”

Reflection Questions:

  • Is my life reflecting Christ, or calling attention to myself?
  • Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus through me?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I invite You to glorify Jesus in me.
Silence my pride.
Center my life on Christ.
Let every word I speak and every step I take be a reflection of His beauty.
Amen.
