Do you bend with 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)

the Wind that IS

by Melodie Green

When things don’t turn out the way we thought they would

When we are not in the place we hoped we’d be

Or with those we long to be with

There is One who understands.

When circumstances are not what we anticipated

Our life is still guided by a purposeful God

When He breathes, clouds move, trees rustle, boats sail

He is the One who clears our way with His Wind.

When the Wind is fierce the move is swift and frenzied

When a gentle breeze blows an easy glide is enjoyed

In still waters we may simply bobble along, often feeling forgotten
But the One who measures velocity, knows our times and our seasons.

When things are not what we hoped or prayed for

We must shift our heart into the Wind that IS

We must bend our will into the reality of God’s leading

He is the only One who can see the big picture.

After yielding and cooperating and doing our part

We will find ourselves at that next place of new beginnings

We will also understand both the swiftness and the delays

And the timing and wisdom of the One who carried us there.

"You are my God. My times are in your hands..." (Psalm 31:14)
