Praise God, Who GIVES US BREATH
“Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it,”
God proclaims that He is the One who gives us our breath and spirit. He also says that HE has something to say to us. Among His many words are these: “I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness, I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you, And I will appoint you as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations.” (Isaiah 42:6) Reread His words. Meditate on what they mean for you. God identifies us with our righteous calling. Our BREATH GIVER comforts us that He holds us by the hand and watches over us. Our BREATH GIVER reminds us of our covenant relationship with Him and of our appointment as a light to the nations. Our identity, our comfort, and our purpose are God breathed.
LORD, You BREATHE life and SPIRIT; our identity, comfort, and purpose into us. We praise You.
