Genesis 2:7a. God Invests Himself in Us

on

Genesis 2:7a. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; […]” 

    God could have made man instantly, but instead He chose to take His time. He bent down and touched earth. He thrust His hands into the dirt, He put Himself into His work. God literally invested Himself in humanity! He bent down and blew a whisper kiss and man became a soul.

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1:1, 3-4). The WORD breathed into inert nostrils: clay came to life, and man’s eyes opened. 

    “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple” (Psalms 119:130). The breath of life now, as then, is the Word of God coming so near and intimate that it is not only heard and felt, but received and inhaled, appropriated and applied to every aspect of the being. Says Jesus Christ:
    “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hearth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24). The Creator is bending over you today. He will send His Spirit to bring you new life through His Word today, if you will have it.

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
