• Breathe. (Week 2)

  

  We continued our message series "breathe." at LHC .  This week as I prayed for the Chief, our church, and the message - I ran across something so beautiful the Chief asked me to share during worship yesterday and I wanted to share with you today. 

   

  Breathe in, breathe out. Listen as you breathe. Breathe from your mouth, in and now out. Can you hear it? Do you perceive something profound?

  When God spoke His name to Moses in Exodus 3:14, it sounded to Moses like the breath of God. The Hebrew letters, YHWH, when coupled with the appropriate vowel points, sound of whole-hearted breathing.

  In both Hebrew and Greek, the word for spirit is the same as the word for breath. Our God is present in all things. His Spirit permeates every aspect of life. He is so everything, that His name is on our lips even as we breathe. In fact, the very first thing we do when we live on earth is draw our first breath, and the very last thing we do is draw our last breath.

  Psalm 150:6 says, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!"  This is not just a command.  IT IS FACT!  Yahweh!  His name is on our lips even as we breathe.
