Waiting Where the Spirit is Likely to Come
J. W. Harrald. Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. "That ship does not seem to stir; there's not a breath of wind to move her sails"; said one of our little company. "No," replied another, "but she is where she will get the wind as soon as it begins to blow." And so it proved; for presently her canvas began to fill, and ere long she was speeding towards her desired haven. It is a good thing to be in the way of any blessing that may be coming. Perhaps you are not yet a Christian; but you say that you long to be one. Then seek to get where the sacred wind is likely to blow. The Spirit, like the wind, "bloweth where it listeth"; but there are special times and places in which His gracious influences are usually manifested. See that you are where you may expect the heavenly breeze. Prayer-meetings, Bible-classes, special services, and places of worship where the gospel of the grace of God is preached in all its fulness, are the spots where the Spirit delights to work; go there, and may the Divine afflatus fill thee, and speed thee on thy heavenward voyage!
