“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.” (John 6:63)
This world wants you to believe you can achieve success by looking a certain way, but it’s a lie. We pump up our bodies and buy the finest clothes to, at the very least, give the appearance of success. In reality, true lasting success only comes from knowing Christ. How can I say this? Jesus tells His listeners in the Gospel of John that our flesh counts for nothing. It is a temporary home for our spirit and soul. It will disintegrate to dust in the ground over time. That which will last an eternity is our spirit and soul. That which Jesus speaks gives life for it is spirit driven. Life is found in knowing God through Christ.
How can we experience the fullness of His spirit and life? By surrendering our stubborn, self-centered will to Him. As we allow God to minister peace to our soul and spirit, we begin to feel His glory and majesty as it is revealed to us. The more we become acquainted with His word the more we begin to understand His mercy and grace. Allow God to speak life to your soul as you strive to live for Him.
Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
