The breath of life

It is the very breath of God that distinguishes us from the rest of creation.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being - Genesis 2:6-7

I can imagine the pure delight God must have felt as the breath of His life began to flow through man to see His image, His delight coming to life. Though we don’t know how long we will live or what God has in store for us, we know He is enough to sustain us, to carry us through to eternity. We can rest in the knowledge that our life is in Him.

From life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand
