A Word From the Pastor - September 2021

I just spent a week in Alaska with Judy Rarrick. It was her first trip there. It was a lot of fun seeing through the eyes of someone who had never been there before. I lived there for 19 years, and about the only time I did the touristy things was when we had guests. I wanted my friend to get to see just a little taste of Alaska in the few days we had, so one of the things we did was go on a cruise to see glaciers. If you’ve never been up close to a glacier before you would be impressed by their size. From an airplane, you may think they don’t really look that big, but when you get up close, you realize just how massive they are. When you’re on the boat right up close to the glacier, its size is amazingly magnificent, it’s beautiful and you stand there realizing how powerful they really are. When a “small” chunk calves off you could hear it and see the affects as the ice plummeted into the water becoming an iceberg. Another amazing thing is that you can hear the glacier slowly moving down the mountain. You can hear it cracking and creaking as it flows down the mount. After seeing one up close the next time you see a glacier from a plane you realize just how huge it really is, you can see how far back they go, and you have a sense of how large the leading edge is. As you probably know, a glacier is a slow moving frozen river. As it moves down the mountain it changes the terrain, our valley was formed by glaciers as they moved through this area.

Sometimes it feels like the work of the Holy Spirit is moving at a glacial pace in our lives. But, if we pause for a moment and are still we can hear him moving. You may be wondering how you do that. One way is to spend time in prayer. Another way might be to have a friends sit with you and listen to and share with you. Sometimes there are some amazing ah-ha moments we get as we read God’s Word. That is my favorite way to hear the Holy Spirit. On occasion, we can actually see the effects of the Holy Spirit as he is moving in our lives and the lives of those around us. There are times when it’s like the huge crash of a massive chunk of ice calving off the glacier and plunging into the water as an iceberg. It is so exciting to get to see the Holy Spirit move in power. Sometimes, like and iceberg, we may only see the 20% that is on the surface, but know there is a whole lot more happening under the surface. Even if we don’t personally see all he’s doing, it’s good to know he’s there and is moving.

I feel like God is doing something powerful in our time. Let’s listen to him and be aware, as much as we are able, to the moving of the Holy Spirit, and be prepared for his invitations.
