#breathedeep

This week I have been intently listening and looking for God winks. Earlier this week the thought, “breathe deep” came to mind. Breathe means to take air into the lungs and then expel it, especially as a regular physiological process”. Do you ever find yourself holding your breath when you are overwhelmed, excited, or anticipating something? If we have breath, we should praise the Lord, right? If we compare our breathing to our worship, would you be praising the Lord with every deep expel? Or would you compress and not take notice to God. Next time you catch yourself compressing a breath, I encourage you to intently take a few deep breaths and praise the Lord.

Ps 150:6 NIV “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”

Often while running I must remind myself to take deep breathes. Sometimes I get so caught up with my goals and agenda, that I do not take time to enjoy God’s beauty in my run. God winks are all around us. It is up to us to be open to receive them. When we are in a posture of praise, we tend to see our surroundings in a different perspective. If you live on the East Coast, you may have experienced Hurricane Isaias this past week. That night there were frogs all around making noise. The next morning, we awoke to a beautiful pink pathway. We may have a limited view of the path ahead, but we can find joy in a pink speckled path along the way. Every different species of frogs makes different sounds such as a; whistle, croak, ribbit, peep, cluck, bark, or grunt. Next time you see or hear a frog, remember it stands for Fully. Rely. On. God

Is 26:4 “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal”.

What sound will you make for God? Will you worship him with each expel? There are so many ways to make a joyful noise. Just look in awe of how God created the frogs.
