In our new rhythm, we meet on Wedesdays / Thursdays and have an informal meeting, mainly talking about Jesus, following Him in Johannesburg and being Christians in South Africa. The conversations are always challenging.
This week, we watched Rob Bell/ Nooma's "Breathe". Rob's premis is that we are calling God's name from the the time we are born until we die. See, in Hebrew (transliterated) God's name would be Jod He Waw He... do you hear the breathing? In Greek and Hebrew, the same words are used for breath, spirit and wind. By breathing, you are basically calling on God.
The conversation then centred around what you breathe in, i.e your expectations, your resources... and out... blessings to share? Needs?
Driving home, I realised that I am not breathing. I am holding my breath about so many things at the moment. It feels like I am choking and my chest is burning, all because I do not breathe.
So, in this week, I pray that God will reveal Himself in my life and in all of these seemingly impossible situations. I pray that God will help me to let go and breathe... just breathe.... Jod He Waw He.... in and out.
