I was listening to a song that I hadn't heard in a while
and something jumped out at me.
I have really being looking deep into the book of Genesis here lately. (A video series on Genesis is coming in the future.) In Genesis 2, we see the following words:
I have really being looking deep into the book of Genesis here lately. (A video series on Genesis is coming in the future.) In Genesis 2, we see the following words:
“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the
ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a
living being.” Genesis 2:7 NIV
God breathed life into us. I have heard CPR being used as an illustration for this. When you give someone CPR, you are trying to breathe life back into the person. This is what God did after He created us - He gave us a breath to get our life started!
So now back to the song. As I was listening to the song, I heard these lyrics right at the end of the second verse:
"The air I consume from the breath of creation renews my soul every day I awake" [1]
I had never caught that before. Did you catch it?
John is referencing Genesis 2:7 and how "the air that I consume from the breath of creation" [1] gives him life and renews him every day.
The same is for us. God breathed life into us and renews our soul for each new day.
This was an amazing revelation to me! God reveals things to us in and through anything!
