The Breath of Life
The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
We breath in and we breath out. Take a second to notice your breathing. You are experiencing the wonderful, mysterious breath of life, first placed in our lungs by the Lord God. Our life is sustained by that breath, his breath.
A newborn breathes 30-40 times a minute, and as we grow the number the breaths per minute decrease. Most adults breath 12-20 times per minute, somewhere around 27,000 times a day.
Each breath is a gift of God and is a silent praise to God whether we acknowledge it or not.
What do you think about that?
