His Breath

Today we played a song at church titled "Great are You Lord" by All Sons and Daughters. If you haven't ever heard it I highly recommend it because it is freaking awesome. Anyways, I started practicing it early last week and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it as I went through my week. The chorus says this:

"It's Your Breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise, pour out our praise
It's Your Breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only."

Sometimes the most simple songs are the ones I connect with the most, and that is the case here. I was just amazed at this chorus because it is so true! I couldn't help but think about Ezekiel 37 when God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones and tell them to come together and come to life. They came together and tendons grew and flesh reappeared, but they weren't alive until God sent His Breath to enter them.

God breathed life into us, and because of that I will praise Him and Him only.
