Take His Word For It

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”  John 3:8

They found it! You may have read the news reports of the 1/4" radioactive pellet lost along an 850-mile route of desert road in Australia recently. Of course any of us with some knowledge of radioactivity immediately knew that the search would not be done by looking with the eyes for a relatively tiny capsule in such a vast distance. It was found by a vehicle with detection equipment traveling at 43 mph, a much different sort of search than walking the 850 miles while searching the ground with a pair of human eyes. 

In a similar vein, if we were to search for our rebirth in the Spirit by looking around we would only see people who look more or less like us. It is by faith that we know of our rebirth in Christ, and then the fruits of the Spirit will show in time. Faith is, after all, taking His Word for it. 

Believe in the Word God gave to us!
