CHILD-FRIENDLY FLOW WITH GOD’S CURRENT, NOT LISTENING TO THE WIND!

John 3:8 GNT

The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

 

Sometimes we feel like doing what everyone else is doing, even if it’s not what God wants for us. We listen to all kinds of voices and reasons instead of following God’s way. But God wants us to flow with His current—His will, His direction, and His timing.

The wind represents distractions, fears, doubts, and voices that try to pull us away from God. When we listen to the wind, we lose focus and miss God’s plan.

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:4, “Anyone who watches the wind will fail to sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to reap.” This means if we keep waiting for perfect conditions or listening to every opinion, we will never do what God wants.

Ephesians 4:14 warns us not to be “tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of teaching.” Instead, we should listen to God’s voice. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”

The wind that misleads can be wrong teaching, unstable feelings, or worldly desires. But the Holy Spirit is like a gentle wind that brings power and direction. When we follow Him, we stay on the right path.

Hebrews 12:2 tells us to “fix our eyes on Jesus.” Don’t look at the wind—look at Jesus! Remember Peter in Matthew 14:30-31? He walked on water when he looked at Jesus, but sank when he looked at the wind.

Romans 8:14 says those who are led by the Spirit are God’s children. To “walk by the Spirit” means to follow God every day, not the world’s distractions.

So, be determined to flow with God’s current, not listen to the wind!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·        Do I listen more to God or to other voices?

·        What things distract me from following God’s way?

·        How can I keep my eyes on Jesus every day?

PRAYER: Lord, help me to follow Your way and not be distracted by the wind. Teach me to listen to Your voice and trust Your plan. Keep my eyes on Jesus always. Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
