This experience of foreign languages frightened and bewildered the disciples. And who can blame them really? They are uncertain about the future. Their leader and friend, Jesus, is gone, having ascended into heaven. They are excited to continue Jesus’ ministry, but they face an unclear future and are fearful of this transitional time.

Most of us can relate to this feeling. Transition comes with excitement, but also fear. You may also experience mixed emotions at times of transition: at graduations, starting at a new school, joining a new sports team. There is a lot you may be excited about, but a lot you may worry about too.

Yet even in the midst of uncertainty, the Spirit abounds! That same Spirit that moved among the disciples moves in your life. The Spirit is especially present during transitional times. When things are unpredictable, you may find yourself more prayerful, more attuned to God’s movement in your life. And when you face change you are most likely to sense that the Spirit gives you courage.
