Daily Bread – April 30, 2022 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) John 6:63 – It is the Spirit that makes alive. The flesh is of no benefit. The words which I have spoken to you are Spirit, and they are Life. The Word Is Spirit & Life The Word of God is more than a story about the dealings of God with men. The Word of God carries in it the power that created the Universe and the power that brings new life to all who will believe. Jesus demonstrated how powerful His words are; for through His Word, miracles took place, blind eyes were open, deaf ears heard, the dead came to life again, and demon spirits were cast out. The Word of God we read in the Bible is Spirit and Life! When we interact with the Word of God, we begin to interact with the Spirit of God and the Life of God. Through believing the Word, faith comes that dispels the darkness of doubt and uncertainty. As we read the Word of God, it is spiritual food for our souls producing the strength of the Lord and the power of His might within us (Deuteronomy 8:3; Joshua 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Ephesians 6:10). A similar contrast between the flesh and the Word of God is found in Isaiah 40:6-8, “All flesh is grass, and all its grace as the flower of the field. The grass withers, and the flower fades; but the Word of our God shall endure forever.” Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
