“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.” (Genesis 2:7 NKJV)

     Here we have the first case of CPR in history! The word breath is used as a symbol of the Holy Spirit and later Jesus would reveal He is life. Jesus does not give Life, Jesus IS Life.

     God “formed” man from the dust of the “ground” and like the CPR we have a very personal and intimate picture of the creation of man.

     The word formed is used often as a potter forming clay. The word ground means land, earth and something worth of construction.

     We are presented with a wonderful example of the Trinity here as the Father formed man, the Holy Spirit was breathed into man and Jesus made man a living being!

Your prayer

Give God thanks for what you have.
