Genesis 2

7the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Other related scriptures:

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

This is what sets us apart from other animals. God made us from the dust of the ground and He breathed in us which gave us life. I like Dr. Monroe’s explanation of why we need to stick with God. For something to sustains it's life, it needs to stick with whatever thing it originated from.  For example when God created the fish, he spoke to the sea to bring forth animals that lives in water, and God spoke to the ground when he created animals that lives in the dry land. Now, the sea animals need to stay in the water otherwise they loose their life, so does the animals of the dry land. To sustain their life they live and eat what the ground or the sea produces. Now when we come to man, we were created from the ground, we eat the product of the land, but unlike the , other animals we need to commune with God as well. Otherwise we are dead in our spirit, that is why when we receive Jesus we are born again, or now we are new creatures. Therefore, please don’t starve your spirit. As we eat several times in a day or at least one or two times. Let us take time to nourish our spirit, with reading His word, praying, taking time to listen to God and share His goodness with others.

As I was meditating on this idea I came across great devotionals. One was a daily devotional, and the concept complements to what we are reading. God is teaching us, I want you to take time to read them.

God bless you and be strong.

As his breath gave life to the lifeless being, and also in Ezekiel to the bones, expose yourself to His word daily. Even at times you may feel dry like the bones, because He is the life giving God.

Related Scriptures:

Ezekiel 37:5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

Mat 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

1 Corinthians 15:45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. John 15:4-5 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

Please read the following devotional it is very powerful. It is about the importance of prayer. The other devotional I mentioned I think I have to post it directly soon.
