“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.

I can’t say in my life that I’ve always enjoyed or feel like reading and studying God’s word. Yet, it never ceases to fail how much life God’s word brings to me. I have found it to give me peace in the storm, answers, joy and strength. After seeing over and over again Him breath on me through His word and make me alive, I’ve come to love it and it not feel like a chore anymore.

His word is living just like God Himself, and whatever He speaks to, life comes into it. Whoever will receive it, life comes to them. This is why the Lord tugs on us each day to partake of it.

Studying may not feel exciting, but it isn’t about feeling excited. It’s about being excited. It’s about being victorious. It’s about being a strong man when pressure comes to knock you down. After you get His word, you’ll not just feel strong, but you’ll live strong.

Feed your faith in these times. As you spend time with it, the water of His word will run through every part of you, soul and spirit, and bring mighty life to every dry place.

Prayer: Father, honestly, reading and studying feels like a chore. Make me into a man that loves Your word. I know I can’t be the man You’ve called me to be without it. Every time I read it, let it bring life to me. Help me to dive in and love Your law. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
