Now that the changes of the seasons are upon us (well not really when living in FL) there is distinct difference in the depth of the deep blue sky, the warmth of the sun, and most of all the breeze or wind in the air. Change has taken place over night and it is one that is noticeable enough to be felt.
The wind is that which is most noticeable as it moves the things around us, giving a voice to nature. The weather day or night is enhanced by a wind, either gentle or fierce. The breeze has a way of making its presence known, all while remaining invisible.
Recently the weather was such that brought a rowdy wind that caused trees and plants alike to be easily bent under the wind's power, and creating that mysterious noise that wind often harmonizes under the right circumstances. Looking around, it seems strange that although we can see the trees sway and the leaves shake, we really do not see the "object" that was stirring such activity.
But obviously it was there!
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear it's sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit (John 3:8).
In the Greek, the same word is used for both wind and Spirit—seemingly invisible, but they are very real. Both the wind and the Holy Spirit effect people, but remain unseen. Skeptics have a hard time grasping who God is because He is invisible.
Sometimes we Christians even begin to assume God is absent from our lives because He appears to be hidden, but we need only to open our eyes and look around us. Watch as brothers and sisters in Christ sway under the Holy Spirits power.
Look as souls are redeemed and lives are changed!
