Absorbing God’s Word
“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.” John 3:8
Applying God’s Word
John 3 compares the Holy Spirit with the wind. We can’t control the Holy Spirit anymore than we can control the wind.
Last week, I withdrew some cash out of the bank, which was made up mostly of 1o’s and 20’s. To be safe, I placed the envelope of money in my coat pocket and carried it into a restaurant. On exiting the restaurant, I was met with a blast of wind, which flipped the envelope full of money into the air. The money flew everywhere. What an incredible sight.
Two of the restaurant servers saw what was happening and rushed to help me. All of us were laughing hysterically. while attempting to retrieve the money. Between my generous tip to each of them and the unfound money, I lost about $200, which was a mere fraction of the envelope’s contents.
If we are open to it, the Holy Spirit will use each of us like the wind. Be ready!
Accounting of God’s Word
“Challenge” Am I ready for the Holy Spirit to use me like the wind?
