PROMISE #121 - MAY 1
Promise #121:
My Spirit made you and My breath gives you life.
Job 33:4 (WEB)
The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
In today's Scripture verse, one of Job's friends declares that the Spirit of God is the One who made us, and His breath gives us life. When God created Adam in the Garden of Eden, He breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and Adam became a living soul. Jesus breathed on His disciples after the resurrection, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Every breath you and I take is a gift from the Father of Lights. He made us and promised to sustain us. Every good and perfect gift we have comes from our Heavenly Dad. The One who created us will continue to provide everything we need, both physically and spiritually.
May we each be reminded of the goodness of our God and Father as we draw each breath into our bodies. He has made us, and His breath gives us life!
***
Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you that the very breath of your life sustains me every moment of every day. Help me to be continually aware of your abiding presence with every one of the 20,000 breaths I will take in the next 24 hours. You are so good and kind to me and are closer to me than I could possibly imagine, so I will calm my anxious heart, close my eyes, and breathe in your love.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
My Spirit made you and My breath gives you life.
