VERSE FIVE
This verse now speaks of the hidden work of the Holy Spirit in a person's heart. Just as we cannot behold new life with our natural eyes as it is forming within the womb, so we cannot observe the work of God in the individual. Therefore we should not be discouraged when we do not see results with our natural eyes. The work of converting the soul belongs to God, we are just messengers of His grace. The words, ' thou knowest not the way of the spirit' reminds me of Jesus talking to Niocodemus in John Chapter 3.'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' (v.8) We cannot see the hidden work of God’s Spirit in a person's life. We must give God time to work in people’s lives and one day we will see the results, even if that is only in eternity.
