Job 33:4 - Buddy Breathe with Jesus.

Job 33:4 (NKJV) The Spirit of God has made 
me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me 
life.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   On a vacation with my family in Belize, I 
almost ran out of air while scuba diving. About ten 
minutes into a dive, I checked my air supply - it 
was in the red zone. My heart rate escalated. I 
signaled to my husband that I was low on air. His 
eyes widened, and he motioned for me to swim to 
our guide. I showed the guide my air-supply 
gauge. He locked eyes with me, pointed to his extra 
regulator and calmly handed it to me. I replaced mine 
with his extra, took a deep breath, and relaxed. 
Then he looped my arm into his, and we swam side 
by side, buddy breathing, for the remainder of 
the dive. 
   The fear of running out of air was 
terrifying. Then having the guide calmly share his air 
and swim side by side reminded me of what Jesus 
does for me when I'm afraid. Just like when a 
drop in real-estate value presented the real 
chance that we could lose some of our needed 
income. Or when my husband was going in for a 
life-threatening surgery. When I feel fear, then I need to 
remember to buddy breathe" with Jesus. I must 
depend on Him for all things just as I depend on 
air to live. It doesn't mean tough circumstances 
will disappear, but He will link arms with me, 
offer His breath of life, and get me through.

   Faith Step: Are you experiencing fear? 
Try a "breath prayer." Inhale deeply and pray, 
"Jesus is with me." Then slowly breathe out and 
pray, "He gives me life." Do this several times 
until you feel more peaceful. (You can also come 
up with your own phrases.) [Mornings With Jesus
