10/21/12- Word and Spirit: Tied Together


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)
(People watching 3-D Movie)

Thoughts:  God's Word is life in that it points to how to get eternal life. Spiritual truths are given to those who seek the truth by the Spirit. People full of the Spirit are the ones who can hear the Spirit speaking in the Word and experience the life that comes from that. If you want to have God's wisdom and truth (and life) then we must turn to Him. If you go to a 3-D movie and don't put on 3-D glasses, then you may not like the way the movie appears. The movie and the glasses are tied together. So the Spirit and the Word are tied together. If we want to be spiritual- getting close to God- we need the Word; we cannot have the Word without the Spirit.

Prayer: Help me, O Lord. Open my eyes and soften my heart to your Word.
(mainly from 40ditw video devotional- Today's (Day 20) devotion is from the Ryan Meeks pastor of East Lake Church, Bothwell, Washington).
