The Wind of the Spirit

I love feeling a warm breeze on my face. The wind buffeting me and whistling through my ears is pleasant for me. I especially love the wind blowing when the seasons are in transition. The air is full of the scents of the coming changes. The wind fascinates me because you can't see it. You can see what it carries, you can see it's effects, but you can't literally see the wind.

When the Holy Spirit first appeared on earth after Jesus' resurrection, He filled the air with the sound of a mighty, rushing wind. (Acts 2:2) The Lord was signalling the changes that were afoot. He was sending His people a Comforter and Guide. After the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, they went out and turned the world upside down!

The Holy Spirit serves in opening men up to the truth of Jesus Christ. He helps to lead believers in the right direction. He gives them gifts to live lives that honor the distinction of being the children of God.

In the same way you can't see the wind, you can't see the Holy Spirit. However, you can see the effects of the Holy Spirit. You can hear His voice, you can follow His directions, you can find comfort in His presence.

Have you received the Holy Spirit? Has He filled your being with His presence? God sent the Holy Spirit to help you in your Christian walk after Jesus finished His work. Are you enjoying the benefits of this gift?

You can find direction, comfort, and much more with the help of the Holy Spirit. Today, allow Him to fulfill His purpose in your life. Listen for His voice, follow His directions, turn to Him for comfort, utilize His gifts... You may not be able to see Him, but His work produces miracles!

Verse of the Day: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:2-4
