Something to think about.
Breathed in us.
7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:7
When God created man from the dust of the ground, he formed him with a perfect body. Man after his creation did not have life. In verse 7 it very clearly states "breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life" Adam came to life, not by an
electrical impulse or a chemical process but by the living breath of
God. Which is consistent with verse 26 in chapter 1 of Genesis 26 Then
God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." For us
to be His likeness, we have to be endowed with some of His attributes.
One of His attributes is immortality. For us to be endowed with his
likeness, we must be immortal.
The
interesting thing about verse 7 is the word breath, do you think God
breathes? The obvious answer is no. If he needed to breathe, he would be
subject to oxygen which did not exist until he created it. And if he
created that which he is dependent upon how could he have created it?
This "breathing" for lack of a better word means something entirely different from
what we normally associate with breath. The breath of God turned a
lifeless perfectly formed body into and eternal being. What God did when
He breathed into man
was not just start him breathing or jumpstart his heart. He did not
just bring life to humanity he extended immortality from Himself to us.
You are special because out of all the life which exists on this planet you are the only life that has the eternal breath of God in you.

Far More Abundantly
Something to think about
Far More Abundantly
20 Now to
him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or
think, according to the power at work within us, Ephesians 3:20
He
can do more than we can ask or imagine. Limited by the power in us. Are
we allowing the spirit of God in us free reign to work through us so
that we can have more than we ask or think?

Reaching For Healing
Something to think about.
Reaching For Healing
For she
said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And
immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that
she was healed of her disease. Mark 5:28-29
She had the audacity to believe that Jesus could heal her. Do we have the same audacity to believe he can do the same today?
34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” Mark 5:34
6 And
without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw
near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who
seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)
