Woke up last night to the sound of the wind softly blowing - the start of one of our Santa Ana Winds - and the slight smell of Fall. I love the small of the change from summer to Fall it brings a sense of anticipation. I don't know why but my mind went to the song "Blowin In The Wind" by Peter, Paul and Mary. I could only remember the chorus, "The answer my friend is blowin in the wind the answer is blowin in the wind." What does that mean? The song dealt with society turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the ravages of war, but the answers are in the wind? I don't know about you but if the anwers to our questions were dependent on the eratic and arbitrary nature of the winds we would rarely ever receive any anwers.
Then I began to think that God's Spirit is pictured as being like the wind. Like the wind the Spirit is invisible but like the wind we can see the results of the Spirit's work in a person's life. Answers, strength, comfort, character traits of Jesus and much more come into our lives on the Wind of the Spirit - the Ruah of God. So I guess the answers are blowin in the wind.
I know late night ramblings but that is the best that I have for today.
