“In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:10
Take a breath.
Take another… a full breath; the kind that feels as good as a yawn.
Do it a few more times. Each time you do, thank God that He’s giving you breath today. Your very life and breath are in His hands. He’s not only the Creator, but the Sustainer of all living things. You’re breathing by His design. Your heart is beating and it’s His gift.
Life. It wasn’t your idea. You just showed up here.
Every good gift is coming from this generous God. And the first among these gifts: breath.
Remember that when anxiety threatens your peace. Go to your breath.
Remember the Giver of breath when seemingly important things are being stripped away. Go to your breath.
And remember, when you go to your breath, you’re going to your God.
“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into His nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7
Connection to your God has always been a breath away.
