Life teaches us that some people will change when they see the light. Others change only when they feel the heat. No doubt the Holy Spirit touches our lives both in the light and the heat.
We may plan and organize; strategize and publicize. We may meet those pivotal deadlines. But unless the Holy Spirit changes us on the inside, guiding us with his abundant love, our work will be flat – a shadow of its true potential.
Jesus says the wind “blows where it will.” We know this is true of the Holy Spirit. Our lives are filled with unexpected turns and changes. Our God is a God of surprises. Those who live in the Spirit trust that all of the bumps and obstacles and all of the positive surprises fall under the watchful eye of a loving God.
Be mindful this day that God is at work in the details of your day. Should you be walking to your car, walking across the street, or on your way to an appointment, pause and feel the wind. He is ever so close to you.
