Remember this the next time you see a person rebelling against God by doing or promoting evil behavior: the same air in your lungs exists in theirs. The very life that God’s Spirit gives exists in their bodies as well as ours. Even though they don’t acknowledge it, we do (making all the difference in the world). So we try to reason with them to get them to see it, to share the power that brings real peace and significance. The reward will be great if they repent. And if they don’t, we fulfilled our duty even when we walk away saddened knowing their final destination. Remember we are not fighting against flesh and bone, we are opposing the unseen spirits in this world, Satan and his demons. Never allow evil behavior to ruin your day, see it as an opportunity to do good, to place God on display for all the world to see. Everything fails in comparison when placed next to Him. Leading people to the Truth isn’t easy, we face opposition at every turn, but knowing we all share the same life-giving breath in our lungs that only God gives, allows us to roll up our sleeves of connection and continue to point others to Him. Never forget this.
14 If God were to take back His spirit and withdraw His breath,15 all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust.
Job 34:14-15
