I am not talented or knowledgeable in anything mechanical. I cannot do household or automobile repairs. Whenever I try even the most simple task around the house, I need help. I need someone to come alongside me and offer advice as well as technical skill.
John 14:16-17 says, “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, who the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” To the believer God has given us the Holy Spirit to live within us and He is our Helper. When we try to do the job that the Helper does best and has come to do for us, we become anxious and filled with worry or fear. Our Helper eagerly desires to offer us the guidance and wisdom to do what we are setting out to do. Furthermore, when we trust the Helper we will bear fruit in good works.
