His Spirit and His Breath

“If He should set His heart on it,
If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,
All flesh would perish together,
And man would return to dust.” Job 34:14-15

We “are” only because He “is”.

Thank You, Lord, for sending out Your Spirit and Your breath – Your Son – so we would not perish, but have life. And here’s a simple poem . . .

He Set His Heart On It

You breathe life
into us
and by Your Spirit
we move
everything we see
around us
is here
because of You.

Chapters 32 through 37 contain the words of Elihu, the fourth person who visited Job. But the difference in these chapters is that Job can not defend himself against the words of Elihu and Job’s sins are revealed.to himself.

Oh, Lord, send us messengers like Elihu today who speak Your words with fire and let one of them be Your servant Debbie.

It has been quite awhile since I had read Job, so when you said earlier that Elihu shows up and things change . .I was waiting for him. 🙂 Thank you for your prayer for me to be a messenger like Elihu and God bless you and yours Mr. Larry!

A beautiful word Deb! That He upholds all things by the power of His word is such and encouraging and sobering thought.
