Hopefully many know this who serve Him in spirit and truth!
Genesis 2:7 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.
A worker is always distinct from the works of his hands. As God is above nature and separate from it; He is the Creator of good. In His creating the spiritual life was snuffed out by sin of the flesh.
I had been thinking of this song this week and that people would sing in church some years back. It was my favorite for it gives such a beautiful picture of a loving Father.
THIS IS THE AIR I BREATHE
This is the air I breathe......This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence.....Living in Me
CHOIR: This is the air I breathe......This is the air I breathe.....Your holy presence
Living in me
This is my daily bread.....This is my daily bread....Your very word spoken to me
(Back to the top)
(Chorus).I-'---m.......I’m desperate for you..........And I--'--m ........I’m lost you without you
(repeat until...)
This is the air I breathe , This is the air I breathe , This is the air I breathe
If you have every been given a bad report in that a health problem that might cut short your life, then you may think of that breath and every one you would like to have for a long time. Thinking of the closeness of His presence to know our breath, the beat of our heart and the eyes that open to see the vastness of what He created, for me I am thankful for another year to come and to be alive to see what God will present to me to enjoy in Him and through Him!

He purposed us for life to live at this moment in time for His glory! How awesome is that? I think it is rich with His love, His mercy, and kindness toward us who at one time were so far from Him. But we have been brought near by the Son of His love! 1 Peter 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven fro you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
We are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. And it is God's mighty power that keeps us through faith for salvation. Our faith is precious and God does refine our faith as we walk through trials and testings! But God is for us.......not to kill, but to stand for His truth and believe by faith that He is always the faithful.
In rhythm with Him is abiding in Him and that is abiding in His word. (John 15:5) He brings us to rest in His Son! Matthew 11:29-30 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My burden is easy and yoke is light.
Most certainly man has ways of producing burdens to be placed upon people but the Lord presents to us the loyal relationship of His yoke which enables us to be obedient to Law's righteousness. (His burden)
In coming to Jesus we rest in Him because what He supplies is well-fitting to you and well fitting to me for it is built upon relationship that is personal with Him and the Holy Spirit.
In this we are restored! In Proverbs
2:10-14...it says that wisdom enters our heart, and knowledge is pleasant
to our soul, 11 discretion will preserve us; understanding will keep us. 12 to
deliver us from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things, 13
from those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 who rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the perversity of the wicked;
(NKJV)
If our hearts are truly set on God, then we would allow God's wisdom to enter our hearts to make certain that we have knowledge of Him. In that, discretion will preserve you and me and understanding will keep us. Yes, it will keep you and me from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things. For verse 13 tells us that they are speaking of those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness. Why would anyone want to leave the path of life for the ways of darkness?
As we
stay in His Word and learn of His wisdom, then we will not fall into the fear
factor of relying on the five senses and of clothing ourselves in darkness!
It is imperative to have the light of God's truth shining in on the
thing or the man who is set out to harm us! And that includes you and I who might be choosing to walk out of light into dark paths. Yikes!
We do not know everything that is
on our path, but God certainly does. And you and I definitely do not want to be
the driver, who forcefully drives further into darkness and confusion and try
to make a "right decision" based of the five-senses that bring folly.
It
is the Word of God that will keep you and me, preserve you and me, and will
deliver us from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things.
We are to adhere to God's
teachings, and stay in the light, understanding that God's ways and thoughts
are life to us.
As we do come to connect with Him daily, our hearts are growing in courage to make
the "right decisions" in the moment we need them most and speak them
out if the "bad" report comes. When or if the enemy appears, we have
the courage in our hearts to defeat him with the light and truth of God's Word.
He gave us mouths to use and we should be confessing daily that Word over our lives and our children's lives. Making the right connection with Him, will help us make the right connections for the new year 2020!
For this new year we can create God's life into ours by speaking as He spoke "light be"! We can bring His words into our speaking and say to situations that oppose God to leave our lives and leave our homes. We can speak to things that try to come from Washington D. C. and say "peace be still"!
We can pray protection over our entire family members in those secret times with God. We can declare what He has said from the foundation of the world!
We then can rest in Him!
Father, thank You for creation You planned and brought forth by Your words of power. As the heavens and the earth and all the host of them are finished, we see You rested on the 7th day and sanctified it. In that resting we rest in You, our trust in a faithful God who put so much into making a thing of beauty and declared it finished and for man to come and abide. Thank You for that which is finished for us to partake of in You.
In Genesis 2:4-7 we are given this account of the history of our God......4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 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. (NKJV)

Father thank You for planning a family. Thank You for your mercy, love and peace to us and for us! Thank You for the greatness of You but also that sweetness of character to behold us in our destitute position and choose to raise us up for Your glory and to Your praise.
Father,
I pray that each of us will hear and run with the vision You have for us in the new year 2020! May we be people of unity to speak as You
have spoken for this new year. May our lives burn with compassion for YOUR Word in 2020 to such a degree that our
days would not be lackluster, but our days would be filled with the light of Your goodness in everything we speak and everything we do. May our lives shine like horizons shimmer from the sun on the waves of
the ocean, always drawing us ever closer to the purpose OF Your plan for our
lives as we speak and pray Your Word. We pray our words would always be the
same as YOURS and that we would always be growing to be ever led to
those paths of new adventures in YOU! For what this new year holds for each of us You know so well in detail for every move and step we will make.
And You have given us the Holy Spirit to connect with and pray to know Your heart. Thank You for Him in our lives. According to John
3:34-35 “for since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaims
God’s own message], God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure,
but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit! The Father loves the Son and
has given (entrusted, committed) everything into His hand.” By this Holy Word,
You gave to Us Your Holy Spirit without measure. I loose HIM now into our lives.
Holy Spirit spark our lives with the match of faith.
May
our lives be dominated by YOUR truth that sets captives free and may we always
be those who will encourage others to speak in unity knowing that as we hold up
that Word of God as a standard, that we are expectant God to have His will and
way in our lives as we keep in step with His rhythm in a spiritual life! In Jesus's name, amen and amen!
