THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE WIND
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell
where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
John 3:8
Just as the Holy Spirit originally blew breath into the lifeless clay body of Adam to give him
physical life, so the Holy Spirit breathed eternal life into you at salvation. Just as the body
without breath is dead, so those without the breath of the Holy Spirit are spiritually dead.
Because you must be born again to see the Kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit breathed His life into you so that you will have a spiritual re-birth (John 3:5). The Holy Spirit is the Wind that blows new life into those who believe in Jesus Christ. Let the Holy Spirit—the breath of God—blow new life into you.
Breathe on me, Wind of God. I’m hot and tired; a gentle, refreshing
wind would feel good right now. The fire of opposition and
the hot sands of this world have worn me out.
The Holy Spirit is the Wind of God who constantly renews believers. When you think you’ve
walked too far and you feel too tired to go on, let Him refresh you. For those out of breath, He is spiritual oxygen. You can’t see the Holy Spirit working in your life, just like you can’t see the blowing wind. But you can feel the results of an invigorating breeze, just as you can feel the results of the Holy Spirit. Let Him renew your life.
Holy Spirit, You are the breath of God that I need today.
I can’t make it spiritually without Your wind in my sails.
Breathe on me, breath of God. Amen.
Reading: John 3:1-8
Key Thought: The wind of the Holy Spirit can renew your life.
