HOW MUCH MORE!! Read: Luke 11:5–13 Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 1–2; Hebrews 11:1–19 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your , how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Luke 11:13 In October 1915, during World War I, Oswald Chambers arrived at Zeitoun Camp, a military training center near Cairo, Egypt, to serve as a YMCA chaplain to British Commonwealth soldiers. When he announced a weeknight religious service, 400 men packed the large YMCA hut to hear Chambers’s talk titled, “What Is the Good of Prayer?” Later, when he spoke individually with men who were trying to find God in the midst of war, Oswald often quoted Luke 11:13, “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your , how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” The free gift of God through His , Jesus, is forgiveness, hope, and His living presence in our lives through the Holy Spirit. “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened” (v. 10). God’s gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives is available to each of us today. On November 15, 1917, Oswald Chambers died unexpectedly from a ruptured appendix. To honor him, a soldier led to faith in Christ by Oswald purchased a marble carving of a Bible with the message of Luke 11:13 on its open page and placed it beside his grave: “How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” This amazing gift from God is available to each of us today. Father, You are the giver of all good gifts. We thank You for the great gift of the Holy Spirit who lives in us and guides us in Your truth today. God’s gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives is available to each of us today.

I rely on the Holy Spirit every day! Thank God for Him. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
