God is Like Wind

 

Good Morning! 

Experiencing God is much like experiencing the wind. We cannot see it with our eyes, yet we all acknowledge that it is real. Wind is woven into our daily lives; sometimes so gentle we barely notice it, like a soft summer breeze brushing against our skin. Other times, its presence is undeniable: the sharp sting of winter’s arctic blast, or the overwhelming force of tornadoes and hurricanes.

Wind is always there, whether we pay attention to it or not. And so is God.

Yet, just as we often forget about the wind until a storm rises, people often ignore or overlook God’s presence until life becomes turbulent. 

Scripture shows us this pattern clearly. In Isaiah 1:2–4, God calls out to His people who have forgotten Him. Some deny His existence altogether, like the one described in Psalm 14:1, while others simply do not understand who He is, as Paul observed in Acts 17:22–23, 30.

Still, whether we acknowledge Him or not, we are deeply connected to God just as every living thing is touched by the wind.

Just as wind can be felt in countless forms, God reveals Himself uniquely to each of us:

1. Through His Power

• Psalm 29:1–11 God’s voice thunders like a mighty storm, reminding us that His strength is unmatched.

2. Through Community and Care

• Galatians 6:2 We feel God’s presence when others carry our burdens.

3. Through Kindness

• Ephesians 4:32 Every act of compassion is a breeze of God’s character blowing through someone’s life.

The wind never stops moving, and neither does God. Even when we don’t feel Him. Even when we don’t acknowledge Him. Even when life is calm or when storms rage. God is present.
