John 6:63 (NKJV) 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
Where there is death, God’s Spirit brings new life.
Where there is ignorance, God’s Spirit brings understanding.
Where there is hatred, God’s Spirit brings love.
Where there is darkness, God’s Spirit brings light.
Where there is strife and discord, the Spirit of God brings peace and contentment.
We can do absolutely nothing long-lasting by the flesh. We can try. And we can have great intentions. And sometimes we can even see temporary results from fleshly endeavors. But nothing of the flesh lasts forever.
Only God’s Spirit can bring true change where it is needed.
There are a lot of people and movements in the world today, trying to bring about positive changes. Some of them have genuinely good motives.
But because the change that comes is born of man, and not of God’s Spirit, hearts will not be genuinely changed. And because hearts aren’t genuinely changed, the good that is accomplished won’t last.
People of God, we need to be pressing in to God and seeking Him in everything that we do, so that what we do will please Him and have a lasting impact.
God’s Spirit brings life. Amen!
