We take great comfort in the predictable.
But what happens when the Spirit brings God-fearers and Gentiles into the Kingdom? That is unexpected.
Are we comfortable with His lack of predictability in certain areas? Yes, I know we are whenever we read about His actions in the Book of Acts as we stand 2000 years removed.
But what about when the Spirit does the unexpected in August 2015? Or have we domesticated Him enough over 2000 years that we can assume 100% predictability? Did the artistic and dynamic Spirit of Creation become as predictable as a programmed computer after the Canon closed?
If the thought of His unpredictability makes us uncomfortable, then we should ask, “why?”
