A genie, a lamp, and three wishes. We know the question, and we have our answers. Depending on my current situation, immediate needs, and hopes for the foreseeable future, my three wishes range from a lifelong free pass at my favorite fast food restaurant to an all-expenses paid vacation to, of course, more wishes. No matter my answers, one thing remains the same: I want the genie to give me what I want for my life.

It’s a good thing that our self-involved wishes do not always come true. It’s an even better thing that the Spirit of God’s wishes do come true. Today’s Scripture tells us that God’s Spirit goes “wherever it wishes.” The Spirit of God speaks truth, gives knowledge, and inspires us to live the gospel message of love. It is the Spirit of God who comforts, prays with us, and guides. Thank God the Spirit goes wherever it wishes, for the Spirit of God is real good (better-than-all-our-wishes-combined-good).
