KEEP BREATHING

"The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life,” Job 33:4 NKJV. At the end of the film “Cast Away”, Tom Hanks’ character ruminates: “I know what I have to do, I gotta keep breathing, cause tomorrow, the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide will bring?” A man who had lost everything found what he needed to know to live. It’s just a movie line, but there is truth here. Life was imparted to mankind as Adam received his first breath from the Almighty. With God as our Father, darkness is driven away by the dawning of each new day and fresh blessings are deposited with every new tide of life. In simple terms, life is not measured by our losses or gains. Scripture proclaims: “In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind”. LORD, You are Life Eternal! So I will take another breath. And another. And another. Alleluia!
