Because the light in early lighthouses was an open fire, exposed to the elements, wind direction was critical to the success of these guiding lights.
If the wind came from the direction of the land, the light became more visible to the sailor. If the wind was blowing inland, however, the flame was more difficult to see.
Like those early lighthouses, our lives, too, are exposed to the rough elements.
Is our light blown backward, made nearly invisible by the world's harsh blast?
Or, does the gentle breeze of the Spirit blow our flame outward, so everyone can see?
Paul writes to the believers at Ephesus, "You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the light." Eph. 5.8, cev
The Holy Spirit has been more than a gentle breeze in our lives… Today, we are faced with "breezes" coming at us from many directions.
God continues to be our anchor, our foundation, and our center-point.
