Explanation:

The metaphor "He blew His breath into its stuffing" refers to God's act of giving life/animation to the "house" (likely a metaphor for creation or living beings, aligned with the excerpt's focus on God's creative power). The surrounding text frames God as a powerful figure who built and animates the world, and the narrator expresses faith in obeying this powerful God. This metaphor illustrates the narrator's belief in God's creative and sustaining power, as it depicts God as the source of the "life" in the created thing. Other options are incorrect: there's no mention of God needing help, the narrator's willingness to give their life, or a focus on God's interaction with humans specifically.

Answer:

It illustrates that the narrator has belief in God's power.
