He Holds Our Breath

Job 12:9-10 KJV
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

Job knew that the Lord had brought on in his life all that had transpired. He was not attributing his problems to Satan, the bad people on the earth or even just bad luck. He knew God had wrought it all.

Still, he retained his integrity and would not curse God.

Verse 10 is powerful. God holds the soul and the breath of every living thing in His hand. Not heartbeats, no breath is drawn by man, either righteous or wicked, or by creature walking flying or swimming, but that God hasn't willed it so.

What power
What wisdom
What enormous grace
