My youth pastor showed this to us Wednesday night. It really got me thinking.
Tell me what you think about it.

This series (Nooma) is great!
I love how he (Rob Bell) takes all the different places where breathe is used and ties it together. I totally makes sense.
There is also a place in the Bible where God's voice is a still small voice (Elijah).
Just be silent and calm down and listen to your breathing.
I like to lay on my back and listen to the breathing of the earth (the wind, the sounds of the trees moving, the songs of birds). I like to lay on my stomach and feel the steady beat of my breath on my arm.
Just think, God made my lungs and the hairs on my arms and He put together the molecules that I use for survival by breathing.
The Breathe of Life - CPR - we cannot live without breathing.
We cannot live ETERNALLY without GOD.

I love the fact that when some one says there is no god! you can here YHWH!

His comment about us constantly passing by our own burning bushes because we're too busy to just look. Wow.
I was intrigued especially by one of his points. The part about saying the name of God with every breath (YHVH). In order for a newborn baby to make it, must it take a breath, or murmur the name of God? Do you die when you take your last breath, or when you can't mutter the name of God?

Yeah. Deep.
That is one reason that Jewish babies are taught to say the name ABBA as their first word. Service to God is our first and last and only duty in life. We were built and made to worship HIM.
