The Spirit’s Helpful Reminders - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2025

Bible in a Year : 1 Samuel 19-21, Luke 11:29-54

The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, . . . will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 14:26

Today's Scripture & Insight : John 14:15-17, 25-31

One year, I agreed to sing a song before one of my son’s sporting events. I practised for weeks, but I knew the song by heart already. So when I walked onto the field with the teams lined up on both sides of me, I closed my eyes and prayed. I started singing the first few lines. Then, I froze. In that moment I couldn’t remember the next line. A man behind me whispered the words I’d forgotten. As soon as I heard the helpful reminder, I belted out the rest of the lyrics with confidence.

We all need a little help sometimes. In John 14, Jesus explained that we love Him by obeying Him (v. 15), and He promised to ask the Father to give us a Helper—“the Spirit of truth” (v. 17). Jesus said, “The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you” (v. 17). Though Jesus taught the disciples a lot while with them (v. 25), He said “the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (v. 26).

As we prayerfully read the Bible, the Holy Spirit helps us interpret, understand and apply God’s wisdom. His leading always aligns with Scripture—guiding, comforting and transforming us in love, one helpful reminder at a time.
