eVotional: Job 33:4

God is Close

“The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”

Job 33:4

Breathing itself is a testimony.  We release this breath of life each time we breathe and it returns to us. This breath of life, breathed into us by the Spirit of life, is a miracle!  This is a gift breathed into our nostrils by our Creator (Gen 2:7)

The Spirit of the Lord sustains us. It feels like at times that God is far from us, but we needn’t look further than our very breath as a testimony to the truth that he is always near (Exo 3:12, Mat 28:20).

The God who formed us in the wound is also responsible for the present time we have been given. The Lord has given us tools for pulling down the enemy’s strongholds and destroying his yoke on our lives! Whatever things are good, holy, and pure; meditate on these things! We overcome with a beautiful, divine assistance.

Believers, we are not alone. The breath of the Almighty is with you.
