Effects Of The Wind

We can't see the wind. But we can definitely see and feel the effects of the wind. I have literally watched as the wind shifted and left behind paths of destruction through corn and wheat fields and wooded areas. The wind can be as devastating as the path of a tornado or as tender as the wind chimes playing a tune while you're relaxing on your patio. The unseen moving force can be a gentle breeze helping to set the tone for a relaxing evening or it can be a mighty swirl of energy powerful enough to knock over trash bins and clear furniture off your deck.

We cannot see the Holy Spirit of God. But we absolutely can see and feel His effect in our lives.  He can tear up the stony ground of our heart in order to receive the seed of salvation. He can cover our soul with such comfort and peace in the hardest situations that it feels as though we are completely surrounded and tucked in. That Holy Spirit hush can silence all the other voices that carry chaos in our brain and whisper the tenderest 'I love you' to our longing for love soul.

He doesn't just sweep in when there's trouble. The Holy Spirit will lead us if we are willing to listen and obey. Maybe your parents or grandparents would say 'go with your gut' or 'trust your gut'. When you just know that you know. Romans 8:14 reminds us of the blessing of listening to the leading of the Spirit. "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." (NLT) A life that is Spirit led has a distinct mark upon it. The fruit of a life lived being led by God's Holy Spirit is full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. You cannot miss the impact of the fruit of the Spirit in a life being led by Him.
