"The Quiet Work of a Mighty Spirit"

Daily Devotion: "The Quiet Work of a Mighty Spirit"

John 16:14 — “He will glorify Me…”

If you’ve walked with the Lord for any amount of time, you’ve noticed something beautiful and almost strange: the Holy Spirit never steps onto center stage. He doesn’t wave His arms. He doesn’t demand applause. He doesn’t even point to Himself.

He points to Jesus;
Always.
Only.
Faithfully.

That’s not accident — that’s His nature.

Jesus said of the Spirit, “He will glorify Me” (John 16:14). In other words, you’ll know the Spirit is moving when Jesus gets bigger in your eyes, not the experience, not the emotion, not the moment — but Christ Himself.

The Spirit is like the spotlight in a dark auditorium. No one leaves a performance talking about the spotlight. But without it, you’d never see the beauty of the One on the stage.

And that’s the miracle, when the Spirit is truly at work, Jesus becomes clearer. The Word becomes sweeter. Conviction becomes mercy. Worship becomes surrender. And holiness becomes desire — not duty.

The Holy Spirit has all the power of heaven, yet He moves with the humility of heaven. He convicts, comforts, strengthens, teaches, guides…And He does it quietly, faithfully, consistently — never drawing attention to Himself, always drawing sinners and saints to Christ.

In a world addicted to noise, hype, and spiritual showmanship, the Holy Spirit whispers: “Look to Jesus.”

If the focus is on the preacher, the emotion, the experience, or the spectacle — that’s not the Spirit.

But if the focus is on Christ, lifted up and made beautiful…You can be sure the Spirit is near.

Closing Reflection - Maybe the most Spirit-filled people aren’t the loudest, flashiest, or most dramatic, maybe they’re the ones whose lives quietly shine a steady, unmistakable light on Jesus — the same way the Spirit Himself does.

Lord, make us like that, less spotlight. more Jesus.

Walk in faith, rest in grace, and trust the One who walks beside you.
In His love and grace,
