This led me to thinking about people and their spiritual lives...
Too often a lack of power, or external evidence, can leave people feeling as though they have an inferior spiritual life, especially when they compare themselves to others. However, the reality is the Holy Spirit, the water, is still moving! Life and growth is still happening!
Too often we fail to realize and/or recognize God is ALWAYS moving in our lives. It is up to us to rest in that knowledge and believe even when things look "dark," God is working both to will and do His good pleasure in our lives, in our midst, in our congregations, in our communities.
Though it may be easier said than done, let us hold fast to this knowledge and embrace the move and refreshing of the Holy Spirit.
