The West Wind Is Coming!!!!

I asked God what he wanted to tell me today. About life. About our life together. About my family. He said just one thing. "The winds are changing. The west wind is coming."

I remember a teaching a while ago in church about the four winds of heaven. I could be wrong, but I think a guest speaker (Bishop John?) gave it. I remember agreeing with the message and being impacted by it, but I can't find my notes on it. So all I have to go on is the Bible. The only thing I can find on the west wind is in Exodus 10:19.

And the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which caught up the locusts and carried them into the Red Sea. Not a locust was left anywhere in Egypt.

In contrast, there are numerous passages about the east wind. The east wind brings heat. plague. draught. famine.

The west wind brings relief. respite. renewal.

He is a good God.
