The path of the wind

As you do not know what is the path of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

You do not know where the wind came from or where is going but, without a doubt, you know when the wind is making its way. And if you for a second think, you know where it's coming from and where is going... the most likely you will not know what is next.
Wind have no smell but can carry some as it makes its way. Have no color but can make the scenery change color. You can not see the wind by itself but you know it is there... at work.
Sometimes in spring, like a gentle breeze, let the aroma of wild flowers rub your face as a welcoming greeting to the renewal of creation.
Sometimes just as a faithful companion to hurricane season scares the lights out of you. Or just passing by, quietly touching the ground and suddenly leaving with a deep silence following its tracks.
In either way, you feel the effects when it touches you. Somehow, something is different after God's power touches you. God at work in you.
Words can not contain it, thoughts can not accurate describe it, but its works nobody can denied it.
When God works in my life is like the path of the wind. I know when He started it. I do not know how or where God will take me & when He will be done with me.

Philippians 1:6
... being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;...
My prayer
Father,
Help me to put my trust in you today as things happen around me that I'm not sure where are going. You are my Maker.
As You inspired David on Psalm 23:2 to say : "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, ... " I want to say that, too.
That's where I want to be: where You lead me.
Meditation of my heart (verse to memorize):
Exodus 33: 14
The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
