Breath

Psalm 33:6-9, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”

The breath of God brings life to everything. God spoke and breathed the world into existence. Before creation, air didn’t even exist, only God’s Word and breath filled the otherwise vacant atmosphere. God breathed His very own breath into Adam and gave Him life. God’s Spirit breathes life into the Scriptures making them more than mere words on a page; His Word breathes life into our weary, hurting, searching, lonely, hungry souls. His Word is living and active—encouraging, teaching, equipping, and changing us from the inside out.
