Hi there! Having a windy spring day today. Was very windy last night. Storms passed by without much rain falling here.

Not so sure I want to ride the horse in this wind. I think not. Not very warm either, around 40.

Dog walk sounds better.

cheers

Every Breath

Bible in a Year:

I will put breath in you.

Ezekiel 37:6

When Tee Unn came down with a rare autoimmune disease that weakened all his muscles and nearly killed him, he realized that being able to breathe was a gift. For more than a week, a machine had to pump air into his lungs every few seconds, which was a painful part of his treatment.Ā 

Tee Unn made a miraculous recovery, and today he reminds himself not to complain about lifeā€™s challenges. ā€œIā€™ll just take a deep breath,ā€ he says, ā€œand thank God I can.ā€Ā 

How easy it is to focus on things we need or want, and forget that sometimes the smallest things in life can be the greatest miracles. In Ezekielā€™s vision (Ezekiel 37:1ā€“14), God showed the prophet that only He could give life to dry bones. Even after tendons, flesh, and skin had appeared, ā€œthere was no breath in themā€ (v. 8). It was only when God gave them breath that they could live again (v. 10).Ā 

This vision illustrated Godā€™s promise to restore Israel from devastation. It also reminds me that anything I have, big or small, is useless unless God gives me breath.Ā 

How about thanking God for the simplest blessings in life today? Amid the daily struggle, letā€™s stop occasionally to take a deep breath, and ā€œlet everything that hasĀ breathĀ praise the Lordā€ (Psalm 150:6).

Reflect & Pray

What will you thank God for right now? How can you remind yourself to thank Him more often today?

Thank You, God, for every breath Youā€™ve given me. Thank You for the smallest things in life and the greatest miracles of life.

Godā€™s Storybook

Bible in a Year:

God blessed them. . . . God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Genesis 1:28, 31

Wanting to enjoy the beautiful day, I headed out for a walk and soon met a new neighbor. He stopped me and introduced himself: ā€œMy name is Genesis, and Iā€™m six and a half years old.ā€Ā 

ā€œGenesis is a great name! Itā€™s a book in the Bible,ā€ I replied.Ā 

ā€œWhatā€™s the Bible?ā€ he asked.Ā 

ā€œItā€™s Godā€™s storybook about how He made the world and people and how He loves us.ā€Ā 

His inquisitive response made me smile: ā€œWhy did He make the world and people and cars and houses? And is my picture in His book?ā€Ā 

While there isnā€™t a literal picture of my new friend Genesis or the rest of us in the Scriptures, weā€™re a big part of Godā€™s storybook. We see in Genesis 1 that ā€œGod created mankind in his own image, in the image of God He created themā€ (v. 27).Ā God walked with them in the garden, and then warned about giving in to the temptation to be their own god (ch. 3). Later in His book, God told about how, in love, His Son, Jesus, came to walk with us again and brought about a plan for our forgiveness and the restoration of His creation.

As we look at the Bible, we learn that our Creator wants us to know Him, talk with Him, and even ask Him our questions. He cares for us more than we can imagine.

Reflect & Pray

Where do you see yourself in Godā€™s story? In what ways are you experiencing His fellowship?

Loving God, thank You for making me a part of Your story. May I love You and others as You love me.
