In Genesis we read these words, "On the day the LORD God made earth and sky - before any wild plants appeared on the earth, and before any field crops grew...the LORD God formed the human from the topsoil of the fertile land and blew life's breath into his nostrils. The human came to life." (Genesis 2:1-7, Common English Bible)
We rarely think of the air we breathe. However, maybe we should. The Divine breath is in each one of us. We cannot get away from it. It permeates the very blood that courses through our veins and the air that fills our lungs. We cannot flee the presence of God any more than we can run from our own breath.
Take heart. God is with you. God fills every breath you draw.
Divine Breath
Ceaseless
Ever present
Change of seasons
Passage of time
Simplistic rhythm
Enigmatic process
Filling with life
Purging of death
Ceaseless
Ever present
Rising of the sun
Appearance of the moon
Proximity unnoticed
Necessity irrefutable
Providing life’s essence
Expelling its poison
Ceaseless
Ever present
Air we breathe
Sustenance we need
Intimacy overlooked
Impact undeniable
Bestowing new life
Conquering sin’s infliction
Ceaseless
Ever present
Beat of life
Power to live
Heart’s desire
Spirit’s yearning
Loving with passion
Living within
