“Preparing for What’s Ahead”

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

In a world full of uncertainty, families need more than headlines and predictions.
We need the Holy Spirit, who was given to guide us into truth and prepare our hearts for what’s to come.

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would “tell you things to come.”
That means He helps us understand Scripture—including what it says about the days we’re living in, and what’s still ahead.

He doesn’t stir fear but faith.
He doesn’t leave us confused but anchored in Christ.

As mothers, we can help set the tone for our homes—pointing our children back to the Word when the world feels unstable.
We prepare our hearts and our households not just for today—but for the soon return of Jesus.

Family Talk:

  • What are some things the Bible tells us will happen before Jesus returns?
  • How can we live like we’re ready and waiting?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for being our Counselor and Guide. Help our family understand Your Word and live with joy and readiness for Jesus’ return. In His name, amen.

“He Will Glorify Christ”

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

The Holy Spirit doesn’t seek attention for Himself.
He isn’t interested in spiritual fame, emotional hype, or being showcased.
His ministry is deeply personal, but never self-promoting.

His mission is simple and powerful: to glorify Christ.

When the Holy Spirit speaks, He speaks of Jesus.
When He convicts, it’s to bring us closer to Jesus.
When He comforts, strengthens, and leads, it is always toward Jesus.

Sometimes we want bold signs or grand feelings to validate God’s presence.
But the Spirit’s clearest work is when our hearts are turned in love, reverence, and surrender to Christ.

Do you want to know if the Spirit is moving in your life?
Ask yourself:

  • Is Jesus becoming more precious to me?
  • Do I long to obey Him more deeply?
  • Am I falling more in love with the Savior who died for me?

That is the Spirit’s work—and He does it well.

Reflection Questions:

  • Have you thanked the Holy Spirit recently for showing you more of Jesus?
  • What part of Christ’s character has He been highlighting to you lately?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, glorify Jesus in me today. Make my heart soft to hear You, and my life open to reflect the beauty and truth of Christ. May all that I do bring glory to Him alone. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Points to Jesus”

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

Have you ever used a flashlight to help someone see?
The Holy Spirit is kind of like that—He shines the light so we can see Jesus more clearly.

The Bible says the Holy Spirit “glorifies” Jesus.
That means He helps us understand who Jesus really is—how loving, kind, strong, and perfect He is.

The Holy Spirit reminds us of everything Jesus said.
He helps us remember Jesus died for us and that He’s alive again!
And He teaches us how to love and follow Him every day.

So, when you feel your heart wanting to know Jesus more,
when you read the Bible and something clicks,
when you feel sorry for sin and want to do what’s right—
That’s the Holy Spirit pointing you to Jesus.

Think About It:

  • What is something you love about Jesus?
  • Can you thank the Holy Spirit for helping you know Him?

Prayer:
 Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for showing me who Jesus is. Help me learn more about Him and love Him more every day. Amen.

“Spotlight on Jesus”

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

When someone truly loves Jesus, it shows.
Not just in what they say—but in how they live, how they think, and what they chase after.

The Holy Spirit makes that happen.

He doesn’t show up to impress us with miracles or “good vibes.”
He comes to glorify Jesus—to make Him real, radiant, and unavoidable.

When you’re walking in step with the Spirit:

  • You start noticing Jesus in places you used to overlook.
  • You see sin for what it is—because it dims the light of Christ.
  • You desire more of the Word—not because you have to, but because it’s about Him.

That’s the Spirit turning your heart from self to Savior.

So if you’re wondering what the Spirit is doing in your life, ask:
Is He making Jesus bigger in my eyes?

Think About It:

  • Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit stirring your heart to see Jesus more clearly?
  • Is there anything in your life that’s dimming His light right now?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, take the spotlight off me and place it fully on Jesus. Let everything in my life point to Him. Make me bold to live for His glory. Amen.

“A Home That Glorifies Christ”

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

When the Holy Spirit is at work in a home, there is one undeniable result:
Jesus becomes the center of everything.

He is glorified in:

  • the way we speak to one another,
  • the way we repent and forgive,
  • the way we worship, even in ordinary moments.

The Holy Spirit delights in lifting up Christ within the family.
He reminds us of His teachings, strengthens us to obey, and gives us joy in doing so.

For mothers walking in His Spirit, your words and tone can reflect Jesus’ gentleness.
Your example of repentance and humility can model Christ’s beauty.
Your intentional time in the Word can inspire the same hunger in your children.

As the Spirit glorifies Christ in you, your family sees Him—not just talked about, but lived out.

Family Talk:

  • How can we glorify Jesus more in our daily routines?
  • Is there an area of our home where Christ is being crowded out?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, help our home to reflect the love, truth, and grace of Jesus Christ. Let Him be glorified in every conversation, every correction, and every act of love. May our family grow to treasure Him above all else. Amen.

“He Will Guide You”

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

So many voices fill our world—
social media, experts, family, friends, and even our own emotions.
But there is only one Voice that always tells the truth:
the Holy Spirit.

Jesus didn’t leave us with a map.
He gave us a Guide.

The Spirit of truth doesn’t just tell us what’s right—He walks with us as we learn to live it.
He doesn’t just reveal the Word—He helps us apply it to our daily decisions.

When we open the Bible, it’s the Holy Spirit who opens our understanding.
When we’re unsure which way to go, it’s the Holy Spirit who whispers, “This is the way, walk in it.”

His guidance is never random. It’s rooted in Scripture, aligned with God’s character, and meant for our good.

Sisters, we don’t need to figure it all out.
We need to follow the One who already knows.

Reflection Questions:

  • Are you regularly asking the Holy Spirit to guide you when you read Scripture?
  • Is there an area of your life where you need His direction today?

Prayer:
 Spirit of Truth, I need Your guidance today. Teach me what is true, correct my course when I drift, and lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Amen.

“He’ll Never Steer You Wrong”

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

You’re hit with choices every day.
Some are easy—what to eat, what to wear.
Others are hard—who to trust, what to believe, how to respond when things get messy.

How do you know what’s true?

Jesus didn’t just drop some wisdom and leave us to figure it out.
He gave us the Spirit of Truth—a living, active Guide.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t shout over your music, your friends, or your feelings.
But if you listen, He will speak—
Always pointing back to Jesus. Always rooted in Scripture. Always right.

He’s the One who gives you peace about that hard decision.
The One who reminds you, “That’s not who you are anymore.”
 The One who says, “Go encourage them,” when you’d rather stay silent.

He’s not your backup plan.
He’s your everyday Guide.

Think About It:

  • Are you inviting the Holy Spirit to guide your decisions—or just doing what feels right?
  • What’s one area where you need His truth today?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, You are my Guide. Teach me to stop relying on my own feelings and lean on You. Help me choose what’s right, even when it’s hard. Amen.

“Guided Into Truth”

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

In a world full of half-truths and loud opinions, the greatest need in our homes is truth—and not just any truth, but God’s truth.

Jesus didn’t leave us alone to figure it out.
He promised the Spirit of Truth, who would lead us—not just as individuals, but as families.

When we make decisions, when we study God’s Word, when we walk through challenges—
the Holy Spirit is there to guide, correct, and comfort.

He is the faithful Guide who never leads astray.

And as mothers, it’s our joy and calling to help our children know and follow His leading.

We teach them to listen by showing them what it looks like to pray, to pause, and to obey.
We guide them into truth, because we ourselves are being led by the Truth-Giver.

Family Talk:

  • How can we recognize the Holy Spirit’s voice?
  • Are there decisions our family is facing that we need to pray about together?

Prayer:
 Spirit of Truth, thank You for guiding our home. Help us to follow You with open hearts and teachable spirits. May our family walk in Your truth, together. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“The Holy Spirit Is My Guide”

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

Have you ever been on a hike or in a new place and needed someone to show you where to go?
A guide helps you get where you’re supposed to be safely.

The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is our Guide.
That means He helps us know the truth,
so we don’t get tricked or confused.

He reminds us of what Jesus said.
He helps us understand what we read in the Bible.
And He leads our hearts to choose what’s right—even when it’s hard.

We don’t have to guess our way through life.
God gave us His Spirit to help us walk with Him every day!

Think About It:

  • Have you ever prayed and asked God to help you know what’s true?
  • Can you remember a time the Holy Spirit helped you make a good choice?

Prayer:
 Dear God, thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit. Help me listen to Him when I need help, and teach me what is true. I want to follow You every day. Amen.

“The Holy Spirit Convicts”

📖 “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:”
 —John 16:8 (NKJV)

The work of the Holy Spirit is often misunderstood or overlooked, even among believers.
But Jesus makes it plain: when the Spirit comes, He will convict the world.

This word “convict” doesn’t mean to shame or crush—it means to expose what is true so it can be brought into the light.
The Holy Spirit points out sin, not to destroy us, but to lead us to repentance and restoration.

He also convicts us of righteousness—not our own, but the righteousness of Christ.
And He reminds us that judgment is real, and there is a day when all will give an account.

These three truths—sin, righteousness, judgment—are not popular in a world that avoids accountability.
But to the woman who wants to walk with God, the Spirit’s conviction is not a burden… it’s a gift.

It means He is with you.
It means you are not left to wander.
It means God is drawing you ever closer to Himself.

Reflection Questions:

  • When was the last time you felt the Holy Spirit convict you?
  • Did you respond with humility or resistance?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for loving me enough to convict me. Keep my heart soft to Your voice. Help me to rejoice in Your correction, knowing it leads me to Christ and strengthens my walk. Amen.
