Good Monday morning fam! I pray you all had an amazing weekend!
🙏 Here’s today’s devotion on Romans 8:11 (ESV):
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
✨ Reflection
This verse is one of the most powerful reminders of resurrection life, not just for the future, but for today. The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you. That means the Christian life isn’t about trying harder in our own strength; it’s about letting God’s resurrection power work through us.
When you feel tired, defeated, or spiritually dry, remember: you carry the very breath of God. His Spirit gives life to what feels lifeless — hope where there’s despair, peace where there’s anxiety, strength where there’s weakness. Every moment you invite the Spirit to move, resurrection happens again and again in your heart.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead and now lives in me.

Help me to walk in victory, not defeat, knowing that Your life is at work within me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
