We take every day for granted. We get comfortable in our daily routines and while we may not dwell on it, we rest in the knowing that the sun will come up tomorrow, as it did today. It may, or may not be, a good day, but it will be there.
The Word of God says that it is by Jesus and for Him, and that all things consist, or stand, abide, or continue (together). "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Col 1:16-17). Our every breath is in His hand. "In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind." (Job 12:1.
So, the next time you take a breath, you can thank Jesus, for it is He Who is holding, not just the universe together, but keeping us living and breathing at the same time.
