The wind blows the treetops and rushes against the skin. It is unseen, yet felt. It stirs up the sea and tears away the rocks. It is unseen, yet is seen. I always wondered why some things on earth are invisible, yet felt or all we meet is the results of what we cannot see. Wind, in particular, is a mysterious phenomenon. Have you ever wondered why? Why is the wind invisible, yet felt and its effects on the earth are seen. Sometimes, I think I think way too deep into certain things. Maybe God has given me this as a gift, though. Wind is unseen. God is unseen. Wind's effects on the earth and on people (their lives and possessions) are seen and felt. God's effect on the earth and its people are seen and felt. John 8:3 “The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit". I did a little research. In the Bible the Hebrew word, "spirit", is interpreted as "wind or breath". Something so simple, yet something we need. Wind is composed of air or oxygen. As living organisms we need this to sustain us. I don't think that wind is just something that happens. It is not something that is without purpose or meaning. I truly believe that wind is a reminder of God's sustaining truth, love and power that we cannot live without. Wind is a reminder to us that without air death will soon overcome us. So, is true for God and His Spirit that dwells on Earth. Without God death, depravity and misery will soon encamp us. Another property of wind is invisibility. We cannot tell which direction it will come next. We cannot see what it is composed of. We cannot understand its paths. Its paths are "just because". This, too, is similar to how God is. We do not know His plans. We do not know which direction He will take. We do not know all of what He is composed of. We trust the air. We trust that it will always be there. We trust in its sustaining force. So then, will we trust in God? Will we trust that He, too, will always be there? Will we trust that He will sustain us? I cannot make you or anyone else trust in Him. God cannot make you trust in Him. He has and will continue to offer opportunities for you to trust in Him. He will show you that He is trustworthy but will not force anything upon you. That decision, well it is up to us. It is a daily choice. We choose. We make that decision. So, what will you decide? What is holding you back from choosing to trust in Him? Why will you make that choice? Examine the pinch; that gut feeling inside you and take time to really think this through. It is a life or death situation. So, I urge you to choose wisely, every day.
Ecclesiastes 11:5 "As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things".
