Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! – Psalm 150:6
If you’re still breathing, rejoice.
Against all odds, you’ve made it through to another day…another moment.
Your lungs are filling up and out with oxygen like the strutting sails of a Spanish galleon.
You’re still breathing, which means you’ve got another moment to spend in pursuit of the dreams and visions that you’ve got locked up inside of you.
You’re still breathing, which means that it’s still your turn in this amazing game called Life.
You’re still breathing, which means that right now you can make a decision that will change absolutely everything.
You’re still breathing.
Which doesn’t look like much when you take it for granted (“Of course im breathing!”) and measure yourself by all the things you don’t have, haven’t accomplished, aren’t doing or wished you hadn’t done.
It doesn’t look like much when you look at your life through the expectations, regulations and limitations of everyone around you.
It doesn’t look like much when you feel the burden on your back of all the responsibilities and roles that have been lumbered upon your saddle.
But…you’re still breathing.
Which means you’ve still got a chance go turn this all around, still got a chance to turn the tables, still got a chance to come up with an Evil Plan that will create a paradigm shift in your experience of Life, unleash your gifts upon the world, and cause everyone to thank God for His masterpiece called you. (Matthew 5:16)
You’re still breathing. So go do something with that breath.
And if you’re still breathing tomorrow…do it again with even more excitement and gratitude.
Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord.
