VIOLENT WIND


Sunday devotional, 5/19/13

There have been many violent wind storms recently in the news.  Tornadoes that have killed people and flattened entire towns.   Giant walls of dust engulfing entire cities.  Hurricanes with such great damage that years later there is still rebuilding occurring.  Powerful winds can do great damage.

Sometimes our lives seem to be filled with "violent winds" that toss us about.  Health issues, financial troubles, addictions, grief over losses and deaths, etc. all whip us around and can cause us to struggle to remain grounded in faith. God promises to be with us and to help us through the storms of life.

But sometimes a violent wind can hold great blessings.

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.  Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.  They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.  All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Acts 2:1-4

God's gift of the Holy Spirit on that day of Pentecost blessed many people who heard his word in their own languages. God continues to fill us with his Holy Spirit and enables us to speak to other people of his great love for us and all the blessings he has showered upon us.  May we continue to share with others the blessings of faith in God within the violent wind storms of life until the day we meet him in heaven!

    As if what Jesus did for us when He died and resurrected God did more. He sent the spirit to indwell in us and inspire us with His power and teach us how to be the voice and hands of God in our daily lives.

    Go bless...
