BREATH OF LIFE…We seldom think about our origins. We all know the biological nature of reproduction, but how often do we think about what God to actually make us come alive?
“God formed man out of the dirt from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life. The man came alive…a living soul.” ~Gen. 2:7
I can’t imagine what it would have been like to witness the creator at work. Especially when it came to His favorite project…US! At first, God formed the body out of dirt. That’s no small feat. But it lay there motionless and lifeless. What God did next fascinates me. He breathed into the human-form’s nostrils…and Adam came alive! God didn’t do that for anything else in all creation. But for us, He bent down and breathed His own air…His own essence…into us. And because He is “life” by His very definition, we ingested “life” into our very person. Have you thought about the implications of this Divine act? Not only did God form us, but He breathed His very essence into the very center of us. Wow! You and I are closer to God, and His very breath, than our fallen-ness allows us to see. Whether we see it always or not, there is a very intimate closeness with the living God. No wonder He wants us back so badly when we’ve wandered away. Without us, His very breath is wisps away. And without Him, we can’t even breathe. And the mystery is this…He continues to breathe into us the BREATH OF LIFE! ~verlon
