God Created: The Heavens and earth!

God spoke into being the cattle, animals, fish and all that we see in nature.

And then Genesis 2: 7 tells us:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

May we take time to really look at that verse and all it means.

Mankind was formed by the hand of God. We were not spoken into existence like all other creatures or things of beauty all around us.

God took His hands and molded us into His likeness!

Genesis 1:27 (KJV)
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Then He breathed His breath into the image of Himself He formed!!!!

Pause!!! As the Bible sometimes tells us SELAH…..take a moment to think about that.

You are formed by the hand of the creator God, not by the words He used to create other things, but He got His hands dirty with dust and formed you!!! Made you in His image.

Have you ever wondered what God looked like? We are formed with His Hands to look like Him!! What a thought. God has eyes, ears, head, neck, arms, legs, etc.!

And then God knelt and put His mouth over the nose of the image of Himself He had created and breathed HIS breath into the image and the image became alive.

That thrills me beyond measure! I am the image of God and His breath is flowing through me!!!

Every time you breathe, I want you to think this phrase: “I am taking in the breath of almighty God!!

Sadly, Adam and Eve, the first Man and Woman, disobeyed God and although man’s body continued to function, and he continued to breath the lifegiving breath from God above, the Spirit that had been breathed into His innermost being lay dormant and as good as dead.

Then Jesus walks into this worlds mess and changes everything. His death, burial and resurrection bridged the gap to the Father that disobedience had brought.

Jesus was the bridge to bring the Spirit deep within us once again alive as it was breathed into us.

When we received for ourselves what Jesus paid for on the Cross. When we realize it is that relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that makes us in right standing with the Father and brings true life alive in us, we become alive, truly alive.

When we are truly alive inside and living in this earth He Created, we are His representative to show the goodness of God to those around us.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The more we allow the renewing of our mind, the more we will become like the image we were created to be.

We must renew our minds with the truth of who we are. We must realize we were formed by the hand of the Creator and have His breath in us. We are special, we are loved, and we are cherished as the apple of the Creator God’s eyes.

Go forth and show the world a God who Loves them with an everlasting Love!
