"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit" John 3:8.

Although it cannot be seen, it is real. The Spirit realm is as real as the invisible wind. The reality of the wind is evidenced in its effects - rustling leaves, dust, and the sound of its moving. The effects of the Spirit in the life of the believer are also observable - well-timed words, being in the right place at the right time, deeds of compassion, and sharing the truth of God’s words with others in life-changing ways.

To be "born again" (John 3:3,5) is to enter into a new, invisible realm. It's like a ship at sea guided by propellers and rudders - the movements are readily evident, but the forces directing the movements are hidden below the surface.

As those born of the Spirit, we likely do not fully comprehend the direction of our lives. My family and I have felt led to move from place to place in ministry over the years, and some of the movements remain a mystery to this day. Why were we several years in some places, and only a few short years in others? Why were we pulled away from dear friends we had just begun to know? Why was some work left apparently incomplete? On the surface these movements seem erratic, but below the surface are forces moving along a steady course.

Proverbs 19:21 states, "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD’S purpose that prevails (NIV)." We each have dreams, goals, and aspirations too numerous to count or act upon. But within each spiritual person are those plans that are destined for action. Undeniable doors of opportunity open, resources become available, and partners with similar dreams and plans come alongside us. The Spirit clearly moves us along on a predetermined course.

I stand in amazement at the way of the Spirit but, more importantly, I stand in amazement at the One who is daily teaching the way of the Father's Spirit. I thank Him for what He is teaching me even now as I write these words.

May this day be for you a day of wonder and amazement as you feel the propeller and rudder of the Spirit guiding you on path determined for your life today.
