Who could ever have told GOD what to do
or taught him his business?
What expert would he have gone to for advice,
what school would he attend to learn justice?
JOHN 3:8 (NLT)
The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You can't keep God or his Spirit in a box.
DAILY FODDER
Does the unpredictability of God make you nervous or give you hope? How so?
PRAYER
Lord, I am thankful that you are God and I am not. Forgive my desire to direct. When the Spirit moves, adjust my sails. When I struggle to discern and decide, Calm my inner whirlwind to a calmness of being. Help me keep calm and carry on in you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.

so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
