The Breath of Life

The Breath of Life “ 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, NIV)  We live in a world filled with people who have no fear of God reflected in the way they live. As we can see from the above verse, our very life—every breath and every heartbeat—are sourced in God.  “ In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. ” (Job 12:10, NIV)  “ The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. ” (Job 33:4, NIV)  “ And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. ” (Acts 17:25, NIV) 

God’s Precious Investment

God’s Precious Investment “ I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. ” (Ephesians 1:18, NLT)  As believers in Christ, we are God’s precious inheritance. He has purchased us with the precious blood of Christ, and looks forward to spending eternity with us.  “ But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. ” (Ephesians 2:13, NLT) 

Your Power Source

Your Power Source "God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you. ” (Psalm 62:11, NLT)  “ Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ” (2 Corinthians 12:9, NLT)  It is amazing what lengths people will go to in order to gain access to those they perceive as “powerful people.”
