You know well enough how the wind blows this way and that. You hear it rustling through the trees, but you have no idea where it comes from or where it's headed next. That's the way it is with everyone 'born from above' by the wind of God, the Spirit of God." John 3:8 The Message
Now, if you live in New Mexico, you understand wind. In the spring. NOT The Land of Enchantment.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .very tired of wind blowing this way and that!
Spirit of God wind- now that’s a different story. It blows where it will. God speaking. God nudging. God pushing. Out of nowhere. Even in the middle of the night. Lying awake, thinking about that conversation I’d rather not have. But God’s Spirit is blowing all the time.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .even in the difficult decisions. . . that was you? Waking me up? Blowing. . . whispering.. .it’s time, its’ time.
This wind is not to be ignored. God’s spirit rustles through the trees. In the middle of the night. But I thought the Holy Spirit came only in the good ideas. Affirming thoughts. Not in what I’m so desperately wanting to avoid. Where is your Spirit?
And then I am startled. Of course you are here. No sleeping when the wind rushes through the trees. Through the bedroom window. Where you come from or where you are headed I do not know. But I’m sure. . .well pretty sure. . .your spirit comes along side. You can do this. You need to do this. Trust the wind of God.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .Maybe this is part of the journey on the incline. The heart incline on God’s divine mountain.
Recognizing God’s spirit. Not only when all is well. But when all is not well. Because it blows this way and that. The breath of God. The Spirit of love. Comes out of nowhere. Holding my hand.
Do you know what I mean?
OMG. . .In So Many Ways
