Breathing

Today, or yesterday actually, I went to our monthly CnC (College n Career) Bible study. This is a small group I really enjoy and on top of learning more about Jesus, we also made some thick, juicy homemade hamburgers. Delicious!

But tonight we talked about breathing... How we take it for granted. It's one of those God given gifts we do everyday without thinking about it yet without it, we would not live. In one minute, an average human takes about 45 breaths of air. That's 64,800 breaths in one day. Yet sometimes we take this simple thing and just blow it off - I'll read my Bible tomorrow, I'll spend time with them next week, I'm doing something right now, maybe we can play that game later, we're still young so we've got plenty of time to do that, etc, etc. We can make several excuses to put things off for later, but later is not something we may always have. So this year, on top of the normal resolutions everyone has for the year, we were asked to add a new year's resolution for God - to do something for Him. We may have to sacrifice time or money, but we should never wait to add to our list of things we do to honor Him because in the end, these are the things that will count.

Thank you Heavenly Father for every breath we take... I pray we continue to be encouraged this coming year to grow closer You. Thank You for the refreshing words and reminder today.
