Wind

Wind

Wind may blow, but is hard to tell where it comes from.

Sometimes it is gentle and other times vicious. I feel more alive when it blows in my face. When wind is still, life seems to be waiting.

When the temperature is cold wind can be dangerous. When the temperature is hot wind can bring a little bit of refreshment.

Wind can bring power by turning a windmill or pushing a sailboat. Wind can be destructive with a tornado or hurricane.

Wind brings the rain as clouds move in. Without rain life couldn't exist. Wind will bring the life giving rain and God will bring the life giving direction if we will agree to listen.

God speaks at times like a soft breeze. Reading the Bible and listening for God, brings enlightenment and peace.

Wind Damaged Shingle Oak

We came across this wind damaged Shingle oak. All the limbs were broken off except the top left one. Not sure if the tree was dying before the storm or not.  There are not trees on the other side of the tree to shelter it from the storm.

Some trees need the shelter of other trees to survive a strong storm.  This tree may have grown up with other trees and then they died back and left it alone. It did fine for years but a storm came and tore it apart recently.

Other trees that grow in an open field, called wolf trees, put down stronger roots and the tree is better able to withstand the storms of nature.

Christians need to be able to stand in the midst of trials.  It is good to be with other people that have faith and courage to walk with God in life. But there comes times when you can't rely on others. God is our source and we need to rely on Him and not others. Let us put our foundation in Jesus.

Proverbs 10:25 "When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more,
But the righteous has an everlasting foundation."
