Pastor's Column

This is what God told me this morning.

 

“I am the Air that you breathe.”

 

That phrase this morning tells me God is the source of my life.

 

He is a constant presence, and the sustaining force for my every moment of my everyday.

 

“Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

But God didn’t stop breathing in me when He first formed me.

 

He continues to give me breath.

 

He also knows when He will stop breathing in me this life and will take me to my eternal Home with Him.

“Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

He didn’t just breathe air into me.

 

He also breathed into me “The Holy Spirit” and His Fruits.

 

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

Lord God,

Thank You for Breathing into me everything I have.

Amen
