walking in the same way as He walked!
lion of judah
His road to conquering– becoming the lion– came through suffering. He didn’t redeem us by keeping his status as a lion, he redeemed us by becoming as humble as a lamb (Go read 1 Peter 1:18-19). If you continue to read after Revelation 5:5, in 5:6 you will see the shift from Jesus being a lion to him being the lamb. We can never fully understand His position as the Lion of Judah until we understand him as the lamb who had to be slain. If you misunderstand his purpose in being the lamb, then you will misunderstand his position in being the lion.

Pray for Israel.
breath in my lungs
There’s nothing spectacular about what man is made of, only in the way those things were organized. In Genesis 2:7, the bible uses “dust” figuratively. Meaning something of little worth, associated with lowliness and humility. With his divine breath, man became a living being. Only man is the only living being made in the image of God.
washed
We need to be bathed by our trust in Jesus and what He did for us on the cross; there’s a sense in which that is done once and for all. But afterward, we have to continually have our feet washed in an ongoing relationship with and trust in Jesus.
abide
Are you following God because you feel that you have to? Or are you following God because you love him, so it is in your heart's desire to follow him? Our heart’s desires must align with God’s desires, and to do that we have to abide in Him.
habakkuk pt.3
Habakkuk showed the proper response of a man under the sovereign power of God. He recognized his own weakness and low standing before God. Habakkuk could rejoice in the Lord because he was unchanging.
