The Wind of God

Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity: Along with the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is a distinct person but still thoroughly God. It’s a mystery that Christians have believed for centuries, even if we cannot totally comprehend it.

Sometimes God’s Spirit is described as wind, which is something we can relate to more easily. We cannot physically see wind blowing, but we can feel it and see the results. Evidence all around us shows when the wind is blowing.

Likewise, we cannot physically see the Holy Spirit, but that does not make God any less real or present. Like the wind, we can often feel when the Spirit of God is at work, and we can certainly see the results.

Whether it’s a strong wind or a gentle breeze, the next time you feel the wind blowing, take a moment to consider the movement of God’s Spirit. Where do you feel the movement of God around you? Where can you see evidence that God is at work?
