She reminded me while we prayed…
“… The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8 NKJV
When you hear it blow… what do you do…?
Do you recognize the Spirit’s voice…?
Do you follow His lead…?
Do you let Him disrupt your day…?
That’s the way it is with those born of the Spirit… they walk a windblown way… listening… perceiving… following…
It can be a bit frustrating if you let it… considering it a distraction from your day…
But when we remember it’s His day… and the whole of our life is to be lived surrendered to Him… following His lead… becomes a peaceful… joyful…way…
If we live by the Spirit, let us walk with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 NKJV
Walk with the Spirit… no matter how windblown the way…
windblown… adjective… blown by the wind especially: having a permanent set or character of growth determined by the prevailing winds
–Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th Ed.)
Let the Spirit permanently set the character of your growth… there really is no other way…
Amen…
