It’s impossible to see, yet it affects everyone. For those who live in the desert, it shapes and alters their lives. Often, they can hear it from a distance, as this mighty force makes its way across the dunes. It might merely portend the changing of the seasons, but it could also be the edge of a storm. If the force is fleeting or relatively mild, it might just produce a need to bathe along with some stinging as the grains of sand pelt the skin and irritate the eyes. If it’s a weather system, then the consequences could be much graver. One caught out in a real windstorm might find himself struggling to breathe as the wind, filled with sand, creates an almost suffocating wall of dust that envelops him. Knowing how powerful the wind is and the consequences it brings, the people of the desert not only alter their lives to adjust to it, but also teach their children and guests to do the same. Please pray that, likewise, the Holy Spirit will sweep across the desert, causing people both to alter their lives and to teach those around them to respond to Him, as well.
