Jeremiah 10-12; Psalm 119:97-104
“Their images are a fraud; they have no breath
in them.”
Jeremiah chapter 10 talks about the idols
that people were worshiping and how they were worthless. These images were made by human
hands. They were wooden objects
that could not walk, could not talk, could do no harm, and could do no good. These words from verse 14 particularly stood
out to me: “They have no breath in them.”
“But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God…” God is the one who breathes life into our existence. When God created Adam, “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.” (Genesis 2:7)
He alone brings life and breath! I love
these verses:
“When He thunders, the waters in the
heavens roar;
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the
earth.
He sends lightening with the rain…”
“He is the Maker of all things…”
“The Lord Almighty is His name.”
“He is the Maker of all things…”
“The Lord Almighty is His name.”
I experienced the breath of God in a time
of worship yesterday. I had for a
few days been feeling … for lack of better words … blah. I felt tired, down and discouraged for
no real reason, and frustrated and annoyed by just ‘stuff.’ But He breathed new life in me, and I
spent the rest of the day enjoying my family and the scenery of God’s creation
around me. Beautiful God-breathed
life everywhere!
So thankful for the living God who
breathes life into my soul, and praying that He would in turn use me to breathe
life into someone else’s soul today.
