THE WIND

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

and certain of what we do not see"

Hebrews 11:1

One summer when I worked at Camp Ewalu, I had the opportunity to go to the Billy Graham Crusades at the Metrodome during one of our off weekends. We got to the Metrodome early and stood in line for hours. We were luckily to get done on the floor fo the Metrodome and about 5 rows from the stage.

Billy Graham talked about the wind and put in perspective of our faith. He said. "You can't see the wind but you can see the effects of the wind." We can't see the wind but we can see things blowing around on the street, we can sometimes feel the wind when we are driving in our car, we can see the leaves rustling around in the trees but we can't actually see the wind itself.

It is the same with our faith. We can't see God but we know the effects that He has in our lives. There are times in our lives when we feel alone and afraid but because of our faith we know that God is right there with us. Crying with us, carrying us, and supporting us. He puts those certain people in our lives that help us. That cry, carry and support us.

We don't see God, but there are many things in our lives that we know that He has a hand in.

Dear God - Thank you for being there for us when we need you the most. Thank you for those little God moments when we know that you had a hand a situation we had. Amen!
