It’s necessary, breath is.  Always.  Completely.  Necessary.

Not like food, or water, or shelter, or anything else.

A couple seconds without breath and your body lets you know…breathing is not optional, nor even able to be put off until a more convenient time.  No breath means no life.

And it doesn’t matter how strong the body is.  It doesn’t matter how sharp the mind.  It doesn’t matter how skilled the hands.  Without breath, they are all useless.

God breathed into dust and made life.

I need His breath in me.  Every moment, I need to remember where life is found.  Nothing else is as necessary.
