The Breath of Life

 “The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”

‭‭Job‬ ‭33:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

These are the words of Elihu in the book of Job after Job had finished his speeches and so had the other three friends who had come to commiserate with Job.  Elihu was a descendant of Abraham, who stood by and answered Job after Job finished speaking.  Elihu was younger but he spoke wisely when he declared that the Spirit of God had made him and the breath of God had given him life.  Today as new creatures in Christ, the same Spirit of God has made us come alive and it is the Spirit of life that has become the breath of the resurrected life in us who follow after Christ.  Let’s be mindful of the new life the Holy Spirit has given us who are in Christ, in the new covenant of grace.  We have resurrected life in us!  Thank You Holy Spirit!
