Where do you observe the Spirit of the Lord working in Ministry today? How are you aligning your own personal efforts towards what you perceive is God's current program?
John 3:8 The wind (Spirit) blows where it wishes. We hear the sound of it, but we know neither where it came from, nor where it goes....
Ecclesiastes 11:4-5 He who watches the wind will not sow, and he who looks at the clouds will not reap. Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how the bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do know know the activity of God who makes all things.
Matt 16:1-3 - the pharisees and saducees came seeking a sign.... But He replied to them, "When it is evening, you say, "It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' and in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the skiy is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?"
Notice how the bible highlights the importance of Discernment that God is doing things.... and working to be involved with GOD'S Actual, current plan...
We may not UNDERSTAND the what's and why's - but we SHOULD be able to discern that God is doing things... He who watches the wind will not sow.... AKA - being a Good Steward means actively DISCERNING and aligning your own work with God's current program... You don't sow seed in really windy weather - it blows the seed all over creation, and your end results are wrecked...
We ALSO have a very important decision to make... Do we attempt to discern where God's "Wind is Blowing" and align ourselves WITH God's current program - or do we battle and fight to maintain whatever we were doing before that may no longer be part of God's Program?...
