Our Breaths Are In the Hands of God
Somewhere between 12 and 20 per minute
that's how many breaths we all make
where do they come from? not luck or chance
for the older we get it can be a cause to ache
The scriptures tell us much about this
God himself gives all mortals breath(Acts 17:25)
Daniel spoke of our breath is in God's hand (Daniel 5: 13)
all mankind's breath God holds as purely his (Job 12: 10)
So God who created all things on earth
giving breath to the people living upon it
without receiving our breath we're nothing
every minute we live and move to be fit
We must recognise our thankfulness to God
He gives us the ability to breathe in air
God numbers our days even our final breath
so seek Gods face kneeling down in prayer
God doesn't owe any of us another breath
it's all of His mercy and sovereign grace
what would it profit us if we stopped breathing?
Jesus breathed His last dying in our place
(Some interesting thoughts on our breath we breathe each day realising they all come from God.)
