In Him we live and move and have our being.

The Lord God Almighty took dirt and created skin and hair, blood vessels and nerve endings, bones and cartilage, muscles and sinew. He made blood to flow bringing oxygen to every cell.

Then He breathed, and the breath of God gave life.

We live and move, create and build, relate and learn because of the breath of God, that which would connect us to Him.

We have our being because of the Creator who shared His life-breath with us. It was given as a gift to be used for good. Sadly, we have abused His gift, used it selfishly, for our own sinful wanderings.

The birth of each child brings hope, and we are reminded of the breath of God, the divine, designed miracle. Yet, our wandering continues, and we are found wanting.

One came with the Breath of God clothed in flesh; came to redeem us, to buy us back from the slave block of sin we found ourselves upon. He lived, and moved, and had His complete and perfect being in God. For He was God.

He breathed His last breath and paid the price for our slavery.

Once again we can live and move and have our being in Him to the glory of God. As it was meant to be.

Sunday grace.
