Wings of the Wind


Job 8:1-10,20-22
Psalm 18:1-20
Acts 10:17-33
John 7:14-36

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind

Who needs a television when there are so many interesting natural phenomena to entertain? Ocean breakers pound the cliffs causing white froth to be whisked away is really my favorite but a close second is watching leaves dancing on their anchorage tethered by a slither of a stem, undersides announcing the arrival of a storm or just lazily lolling back and forth in a gentle breeze. In Fall the russet leaves their leave their mooring and sail to unknown depths descending casually to the foot of their own tree or blown violently further afield arriving broken and bruised having been buffeted against trunk and wall. Wind unseen but not unnoticed. Thus it is with God Himself. Ignored at my own peril.
