Our very existence depends upon each breath that is inhaled and exhaled. Each breath tells the story of what is going on in our lives at any given time. Our breathing pattern is a direct reflection of how we are feeling as sometimes we breathe calmly and placidly. At times life takes our breath away, like when we laugh, feel exhilarated and joyfully surprised. Sometimes, the shock, pain or suspense of life robs us of our ability to breathe and we feel as though we are suffocating under the weight of it all.
Do you realize that we’re all hooked up to a ventilator that gives us the breath of life? It’s design is unmatched and it’s power source is supernatural. It’s programmed by love and creativity. It will never malfunction or be considered obsolete. My ventilator is not of this world. He has a name; He is the great Yahweh. The word of God says that He breathed into Adam’s nostrils and gave him life and in Ezekiel it says that He will cause breath to enter and then you shall live.
I can count on my ventilator for ever and always. He will allow me to inhale peace and exhale relief when life becomes unbearable. He will allow me to inhale in wonder and amazement and exhale a gasp full of laughter and joy. And it will be like this always and forever. I don’t have to worry because He will never change and can always be counted on. I believe this even unto my last breath-I will inhale my last here and exhale in eternity.
