A Fresh Wind
June 15
The heat has been stifling the past few days. Truly oppressive. Sunday I was fearful it would be too hot to hold church outside, but the most pleasant breeze swirled all around us the entire service. Definitely a God thing!
I laughed this AM as I awakened with the thought of a God sending a refreshing wind.
Wishful thinking! Then my mind drifted to some mighty winds in the Bible. One whipped up quite a storm for the disciples in a boat and Jesus revealed his power and their lack of faith in the process of calming the storm.
Another windy tale is told in Acts chapter 2:1-2 when the Holy Spirit appears!When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Now that is the wind we should be praying for to show up in our lives today for when under His control we will see some abundant living in our lives!
So... Please come Holy Spirit come, blow us away today by controlling our thoughts and actions in the most Christlike of ways! In Jesus' name, Amen
