When Pastor Roger sees a windmill, he sees the Holy Spirit at work in the life of a believer. First, pneuma is the same Greek word for both wind and Spirit. “The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants” (Psalms 104:4). The windmill adjusts to the direction of the wind in order to work, just as the Christian must adjust to the divine Wind in order for life to work. Jesus said, “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” (John 3:8). The windmill brings forth life-giving water to a dry and thirsty land, just as Christians are to overflow with the Living Water of His Spirit! “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. By this he meant the Spirit. . .” (John 7:38,39). So, the next time you pass one of the prairie’s whirligigs may you be amazed at the works of God.
Be God's,
Roger Miller
