THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT
An advertisement for Gulf Oil Corporation several years ago carried some words by Production Superintendent Bob Valentine. Bob states that typically in movies about oil there is a gusher and everybody hollers and laughs. But Bob states that today the “only gushers are at the movies, not in real life.” He adds, “These days, we bring the oil to the surface under carefully controlled conditions, in order to avoid spillage.” Some are inclined to think of the Holy Spirit as though it has to be a gusher. Oil is oil whether it comes out as a gusher or “under carefully controlled conditions.” So it is with the Holy Spirit. Whenever we seek guidance from the Source of all wisdom, it is through the work of the Holy Spirit that we are led.
