THE BREATH OF LIFE

GENESIS 2:7

 

"And the LORD God. . .breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. . ."

How lightly we take our daily breath. How little do we think of it. How many times do we breathe a day? An hour? A minute? We do not count the breaths. We do not notice our breathing......UNTIL. Then when our breathing becomes difficult and spasmatic, we gasp and wonder if we will take another. The truth is we are one breath away from dying. We are one moment away from the grave. It all has to do with that mighty "breath" from God that He breathed into Adam that day when "man became a living soul." (ysw) 

 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. (Job 12:10)

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. (Psalm 150:6)

Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. . .(Acts 17:25)


"A TABLE PREPARED"

It is a Table of Fellowship and portions from God’s Words, There is spiritual strength and wonderful benefits for the days before us.
