Paddle-boarding through life, you love the feeling of ultimate freedom! … ahhh, to go wherever you want!
But in the joy of the freedom, and in your excitement of playing tag with the harbor seals, you’ve wound up in the shipping lanes and a freighter is bearing down on you! Furthermore, you notice that no matter how hard you paddle, you are making very little headway. The realization dawns that your body has become a sail, and you are paddling against the wind. So you reposition your body with the wind to your back. Now you are cruising! With barely a stoke you cover great distance!
The Holy Spirit is the wind! The Holy Spirit will carry you along as you paddleboard through life! Enjoy the freedom. Enjoy the wonders of your journey. But stay alert! Remain always watchful! And keep the wind to your back!
