“The Spirit Gives Life”
📖 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
—John 6:63 (NKJV)
You can be busy doing all the right things—and still be spiritually dry.
That’s the danger of living in the flesh, even while doing “Christian” things. Jesus said plainly: “The flesh profits nothing.” Only the Spirit gives life. He alone breathes into our worship, our study, our parenting, our serving—so it becomes more than routine. It becomes life-giving.
Have you noticed that the Word of God becomes dull without the Spirit? That prayer becomes empty without His help? Even our best efforts fall short unless they’re empowered by Him.
The Holy Spirit takes what Jesus said and makes it come alive. He brings clarity, conviction, and communion. He stirs our hearts. He reminds us that life isn’t about doing more—it’s about walking in step with Him.
Reflection Questions:
- Have I been walking in the Spirit—or just going through the motions?
- What needs to be surrendered so the Spirit can bring life again?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, breathe life into me again. Take the words of Jesus and make them real to my heart. Help me walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. I want Your life-giving presence in everything I do. Amen.
