The Breeze tells all...

I stood at the ocean’s side below the Golden Gate Bridge recently and felt the wind blowing against me as it came in from the sea. It was a chilled wind that brought coolness with it and was somewhat forceful as it rolled over the tops of the waves for miles and miles of ocean just to find me standing there on its bank, waiting to feel it. We had come to visit that morning from the hot valley where we live, driving over the hills that separate us from the Bay area just to be cooled by the breeze that blows in from the sea.

I am reminded today as I think about that cool breeze, of the words of Jesus as He told a man the wind blows where it wants and you can hear the sounds of it but can't tell where it comes from.

The winds that blow can announce many things into our lives. The same breeze that picks up in wind speed can announce to us a great storm is coming and we both heed the warnings and prepare or we are caught unaware and we suffer thru it. And then the breeze is also what moves the storm out of our life by either pushing it past us or causing it to dissipate. Many, like I at the Oceans edge, will bless the wind or curse it but of a truth the wind does not stop blowing.

This earth needs the wind. Whether its a calm peaceful wind or a giant fearsome storm to spread across the plains and mountains bringing life to its dry and thirsty places just as we Christians also need the "Wind of Spirit of God" to blow across our souls bringing changes to our lives in faith and hope that the storms of life that come our way would soon also blow away from us. .

I want you to be encouraged today for those of you who are experiencing a storm right now in your life... You, who are going thru the trial of the storm with all its atmospheric pressures and the darkness of clouds surrounding you, the lightening with thunder that seems to be frightening and wanting to overcome you. I want you to know the wind will soon blow again and the storm you are in this moment will pass and you will be at peace once again. Just hold on and Trust God by letting the “Wind of His Spirit” blow again in your life, and the sun that was blotted out by the dark clouds will shine again and the cool, calm and peaceful “Wind of the Spirit” that your soul needs will speak peace and encouragement into your life again.

Be encouraged this day... For we know the Master of the wind...
