The Reformed Doctrine of Windy Days

It’s a blustery one here in the Twin Cities. The wind can bring diverse effects: a welcomed breeze in the dog days of summer is quite different than a piercing blast in the depths of winter. Sometimes it stills itself over glassy lakes and at other times it can knock down trees and even buildings.

The Lord Jesus employs the wind to talk about the Holy Spirit and his work of salvation.

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

- John 3:8

Let’s improve this windy day by meditating upon the freedom and power of the Spirit of God and all his good work in our lives. Let’s also trust him in all that he is doing with us and for us in his mysterious and untraceable motions.
