“O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.” Isa 38:16

There can be existence without life (Eze 37:4), Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones to come into existence, but there cannot be life without the Spirit of God breathed into it: “Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; behold, I will cause breath (spirit) to enter into you and ye shall live.” (vs 5). One can live, but one cannot have life separate from the Spirit of God. Isaiah proclaims the goodness of God and celebrates his praise for what He had done. By “these things”, the promises of the word, God sustains us through the power of the Spirit that gives us true life, not just living. It was the Spirit that brought life upon earth in Gen 1:2 after it was void of such life. It was the Spirit that brought life back into Jesus from the grave. We can live, but we can’t obtain life without the power of the Spirit.  Know, we are not designed to be human beings having a spiritual experience… We are called to be spiritual beings having a human experience.

Don’t lesson life to just living by avoiding the power of the Spirit that dwells within you.
