If You Can’t Catch Your Breath

Do you ever feel like you can’t breathe because you have so much weighing on you? Or maybe you’re running so fast, it’s hard to catch your breath.  Or, at times we may feel like we’ve had the breath knocked out of us because of financial, physical, emotional, or relational blows.  When that happens, we can turn to our Heavenly Father.  Isaiah 42:5-6 says, “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, 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.”  What comforting words!  God gives us His breath and spirit to walk through our day. Our BREATH GIVER reminds us that He holds us by the hand and watches over us. Our BREATH GIVER has appointed us as a light to the nations. Our identity, our comfort, and our purpose are God-breathed. In trying days, hold your Bible close to you and breathe deeply.

LORD, thank You for giving us Your BREATH and SPIRIT. May we, in turn, live for You as a light to our nation.
