Devotional for November 2
Breathe On Me Breath Of God
Author: Edwin Hatch
Scripture: Genesis 2:7
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 being.
Hymn lyrics:
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
Today's thoughts:
It is the very breath of God that brought life into man. But like our own breathing, that breath was not a one-time occurrence. We need the fresh air of God's spirit daily, constantly, lest we begin to suffocate in our own existence. Lord, breathe new life in us today, fill us with life anew, that we may love what you would love, and do what you would do.
