But there is a spirit within people,
it is the breath of the Almighty within them,
that makes them intelligent
(Job 32:8 NLT)
it is the breath of the Almighty within them,
that makes them intelligent
(Job 32:8 NLT)
In the treasure chest of Heaven are gems of inestimable value. Ideas and craft brimming with life, yearning for expression through the hands of those He formed. Science reckons that the intelligent Man - Homo Sapiens was crafted with the ability to think and create just like the Ultimate Creator of all things. Job said: "the Spirit of man, the breath of God gives Him understanding". Inspiration for startling innovations, brilliant inventions, ideas, visions and craft that beats the mind of peers.
Yet, while we stand poised by knowledge of this, let us not rest contented with ideas and talent, but to our ideas let us draw out a plan, and to our talent let us acquire more skill. I once heard Jeremy Riddle say: "Being inspired is not a luxury, it is a responsibility. A challenging truth – how do we expect to be an inspiration to others when we are not dutifully staying inspired? We carry the breath of the father, so we owe the world the best in creativity, ideas and visions.
Dear worshiper, consider creation and see the supernatural power in the breath of the Almighty. From a handful of soil the breath of God formed man. He takes our worthless ideas and dreams, breathes on them and they become valuable. He imparts our exhaustion with vitality, gives beauty for ashes and our weaknesses He replaces with strength from above. Even dying businesses will sprout again with fruits of increase, despair will be replaced with hope and songs of deliverance. This is not a one-time thing. He stands ready to breathe on us as oft as we need Him to.
