“The wind blows where it wishes,
And you hear its sound, but 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
There is this
wonderfully free flowing, natural energy the fills this world. Every living thing was created with that
energy and has that energy within and surrounding it. It causes and maintains growth and left free
is creative and productive. There is a
natural flow to that energy and life follows that flow freely.
When the free flow
of energy is obstructed, contained, and controlled it will produce unintended
consequences. Often these consequences
are destructive. Human beings are forever
trying to manipulate and control things they have no business controlling.
Faith is being
still and knowing that God is God. It is
knowing and understanding that the universe was created by the word of God, not
made out of things that are visible. God
maintains all that He created within this natural flow of life and man’s
responsibility is to accommodate to that natural flow.
Human beings are
to care for and attend to, not control what God has created. We are to be assured that things spoken by
God are there, even if they are yet unseen.
We are to know that we know and order our lives in that sacred knowledge
that comes from the word of God, spoken either in nature or in the
Scriptures. It is not head
knowledge. It is heart wisdom. It is seeing things as they are, not
necessarily as they are said or thought to be.
We can’t see the
wind but we know it’s there. We can’t
see God but we know He’s there. If we
receive Him and believe in His name, He makes us His children and we then have
the assurance of things hoped for, promised by our Father, as our eternal
inheritance, secured for us by His Son, Jesus.
