Words are weighty. We all know it, but we don't always act like it. On one hand we've all spent more time than we're proud of carefully crafting the perfect text or Tweet. We've also casually said something that was taken out of context and came back to haunt us. It's hard to be thoughtful and intentional about everything we say. But can we afford not to try? Words shape reality.  The words we use determine who we think we are and how we see the world. They have the potential to elevate & educate or depress & destroy.

What we say and the way we say it matters. Maybe it's time to reexamine our wordplay.

The writers of Scripture spoke of the Holy Spirit almost exclusively in metaphor, echoing four word-pictures in particular. Why is that? What can unpacking these metaphors teach us about the practical ways the Holy Spirit can help us make sense of our lives?

We all have moments when we feel lost and alone, not sure what decision to make or path to take. When we do, it spikes our anxiety and shakes our confidence. God’s solution is to give us His Spirit. What does that mean? How do we relate to the invisible? If that sounds mysterious, abstract, and confusing to you, you’re not alone.

We are created in the image of a God who worked and is still working. This means that for us to feel whole, we actually need to work; to be co-creators with God. But our identity was never meant to be found in what we do or how we do it. Both work and rest are meant to flow out of our identity as children of God, not be the source of our identity.
