WIND
The wind blows wherever it pleases...so it is with everyone born of the spirit.
John 3:8

Why do you think God made the wind invisible?
What physical indicators do we have when the wind is blowing? How do we know when God is moving in our lives?
Why do you think God made us need to breath in and out all day long? What does that teach us about how we should be in connection with the Holy Spirit?
Why do you think God intentionally made the wind both gentle and powerful?
God often refers to the direction the wind is coming from? Why do you think that is important? Ponder Rev 7:1.
Look up the Hebrew word for “hovering” in Genesis 1:2 (rahap—7363) and again in Deuteronomy 32:11 to get a beautiful sense of the word picture at creation.
The Father speaks, the Spirit (breath) comes out of his mouth, and Jesus is glorified in every created illustration. Use this imaginative word picture to visualize the scene of the Trinity creating in Genesis 1.
