In his hand is the life of each residing factor and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10 ESV
As Christians who apply yoga, once we find out about pranayama as “life power,” we frequently shortly leap to the breath of God as our life power. It’s a simple leap to take. Contemplate this line from the tune In Christ Alone: “From life’s first cry to closing breath, Jesus instructions my future.” Life, and the tip of it, is marked by breath. When an toddler is born, it can not survive aside from the mom till it has taken its first breath. That first breath determines life or loss of life. On the opposite finish of that continuum, when somebody dies, we are saying, “They took their final breath,” and we perceive that to imply their life right here on earth is finished. Our first and final breaths mark our life right here on this earthly airplane.
So, intuitively, once we say the Spirit or breath of God is our life power, it is sensible to us. However what if we explored this extra absolutely regarding scripture, particularly scripture rooted in its authentic language?
