Dry Bones [God's Spirit] Devotions Day 5

He Is Already in You. Will You Let Him Lead?

Devotional
Here is one of the most encouraging truths you can hold onto: if you are in Christ, the Holy Spirit already lives in you. You do not need to earn His presence or reach a certain level of spiritual maturity before He shows up. He is already there. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside of you right now. That is not a small thing. That is the most powerful force in the universe, present and active in your life. So the question is not whether the Spirit will guide you. He is ready and willing. The real question is whether you will let Him. If you have been feeling a pull toward something more, a sense that there is deeper life available than what you are currently experiencing, that is not random. That is the Holy Spirit inviting you. That tension you feel is not a sign that you are failing. It is a sign that you are awake to what He is doing. Revival is not reserved for history books or other people's stories. It is available to you, in the dry places, in the hard seasons, in the areas you have almost given up on. The Spirit is ready. The only question left is yours to answer: will you let Him lead?

Bible Verse
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. - Romans 8:11

Reflection Question
What is one area of your life where you have been relying on your own strength instead of surrendering to the Holy Spirit's lead?

Quote
"The question isn't, will the Spirit guide you? If you're in Christ, He's already present. He already lives within you. So the question is not will the Spirit guide me? The real question is, will I let Him?"

Prayer
Holy Spirit, I surrender. I do not want to just know You are in me. I want to actually follow where You lead. Have Your way in every part of my life.
