The Holy Spirit never loses

W. Austin Gardner • May 29, 2022

The Holy Spirit always has His way in the end. He does not force His will, He does not coerce; He remains invisible, inaudible, but infinite, inescapable, and infallible, guiding all things to work out His sovereign will. We would do well to remember that in the pressures of life when so often it seems that everything has gone wrong or that misguided men have somehow been able to destroy and disrupt. Truth always seems to fight with a handicap, always seems to be outmaneuvered by wrong, always seems to be losing the battle. But the Holy Spirit never loses, never fails, never deviates from His purpose. His will always prevails in the end. The devil is no match for the Holy Spirit.
