Every breath Bible in one year: Deuteronomy –19 Mark :1–20 I'll give you encouragement. Ezekiel 37:6 Today's Scriptures & Insight: Ezekiel 37:1–3, 7–10, When Tee Unn fell with a rare autoimmune disease that weakened her muscles and nearly killed him, she realized that being able breathe was a gift. For more than a week, a machine had pump air into his lungs every few seconds, which was a painful part of his treatment. Tee Unn made a miraculous recovery, and today he reminds himself that he does not complain about life's challenges. "I'll take a deep breath," he says, "and thank God I can." How easy it is to focus on the things we need or want, and forget that sometimes the smallest things in life can be the greatest miracles. In Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel 37:1–), God showed the prophet that only He could bring dry bones life. Even after tendons, flesh, and skin appeared, "there was no breath in them" (v. 8. It was only when God gave them encouragement that they were able live again (vers. 10). This vision illustrated God's promise restore Israel from devastation. It also reminds that anything I have, big or small, is useless unless God gives encouragement. How about thanking God for the simplest blessings in today's life? In the midst of daily struggle, let us stop breathing deeply and "let that have encouragement praise the Lord" (Psalm 0:6). Reflect & Pray Why are you thanking God right now? How can you remind yourself thank you more often today? Thank you, God, for every breath you've given . Thank you for the smallest things in life and the greatest miracles of life.

Sadly, I often go through the day, too busy or distracted to stop and realize all the little and big things I have for which I should be thankful. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
