Come Holy Spirit

From today's reading:  O God, you know my foolishness, and my faults are not hidden from you.  Psalm 69:6

"Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he was laid, then go and tell his disciples..."  Matthew 28:5-6

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.  Acts 2:4

I saw in the various readings today, a progression.  In the Psalm there was an acknowledgement that regardless of how sophisticated or holy or relevant we would like to be, there is a humanity that more often comes through.  We have to be able to laugh at our foolishness, acknowledge our faults and move on in the Lord.  

Our reading from Matthew reminds us that this is why Jesus came and died - to rise again so that we will have the ability to overcome our foolishness and our faults by reaching out to the risen Lord who will always be there to help us.  And finally, as we follow the Lord, we will be filled with his Holy Spirit and be empowered to be his agents in this foolish and fault-filled world.
