When is the last time you took notice of yourself breathing?  Do it.  Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Breathe in deeply.  Exhale loudly.  It's cleansing.  It's life.  

But there are times when it seems there's no breath left in you.  You may be like Solomon who was surrounded by false witnesses--who were breathing lies.  Lies that contain the heat of hell which sucks the very life out of a room.

Take heart!  God, who breathed the very first breath of life into man, still breathes into us today.  He breathes His Spirit into us.  His Spirit is life.  The Word is God-breathed.  As you take in the Word of God, you are taking in His very breath.  The Word is Jesus and He is life.

Breathe.
