The Wind Within Us

“If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” Isaiah 48:18.

Wind waves are ocean surface waves that occur over a vast stretch of fluid surface generated by the blowing wind. Some waves can travel thousands of miles in the ocean before reaching land. The waves endure above the currents of the sea until they reach their destination of land marking its completion.

The same endurance is given to us through our long running trials through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we journey through this fluid life, life that continuously moves and changes, we are promised peace through righteous living. By allowing the Holy Spirit to power and guide us, He blows His gentle winds creating swells of peace and the ability to glide above our fluid surface with grace and beauty. Righteous living allows the Spirit to raise us above the sea of life with peace, power and purpose.

We view life atop our changing circumstances and glide across the landscapes of our lives with a directed path towards the ultimate land of Heaven. We are not caught up in the chaos when living life catching the winds of the Holy Spirit.

The Wind that blows within us is greater than currents that rush beneath us.
