Led by the Spirit

At that time there was a man named Simeon living in Jerusalem. He was a good, God-fearing man . . . The Holy Spirit was with him . . . Led by the Spirit, Simeon  went into the Temple. When the parents brought the child Jesus into the Temple . . . Simeon took the child in his arms and gave thanks to God. (Luke 2:25-28 GNB)

Today's meditation:

• May the Holy Spirit reside in us with power, and may the leadership of Emmanuel College be led by the Spirit in 2019 in everything we do.

Pray today:

• For Spirit-led guidance at Emmanuel College in vision casting, planning, decision making, and implementation throughout 2019. 

Pray for the top three needs of Emmanuel College:

• To enroll more than 1000 students in August 2019.
• To continue reducing our debt over the next five years with the purpose of becoming debt-free.
