John 6:11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
I am blessed by God, even from the first day of my life. On my birth certificate it is written that I was born dead, then overwritten with alive. I had never looked at my birth certificate until I joined the Air Force. It has taken some years for this to sink in. What makes that day very special is that I was born at home, no one except the doctor to make me live, only God. In those days the only procedure was for the doctor to administer a slap on my bottom to make me start breathing. That did not work, because he turned his attention to the paperwork. First and foremost I have been born again twice. Once on my birthday and the second time when I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I understand that life is a gift from God, just as the raising of Christ from the dead was a gift to all people. Each day, in fact 23,582 days, as of today has been a gift that I did not have to receive. Because each day is a gift I believe God has a job for me to do today and every day. My task is to listen, hear, and do whatever God is asking me to do, today. Ok, now this is weird. I just looked at the word ‘asking’, it is two words ‘as’ and “king’. God as King, wants me to do something for Him who gave me Jesus and who gives me life everyday.
