Without wind a sailboat is dead in the water. On the other hand, when gale or hurricane force winds arrive, the situation turns to a matter of life and death. Thus, one man’s curse is another’s blessing. Either way, its important to embrace the headwinds in life.
And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord,” Job 1:21.
As a golfer, I once hit a drive in high school 340 yards uphill with a 75 miles per hours gust at my back. On the same day, I struggled to hit mid-irons 100 yards into the same wind. For an airplane to take off, it must face headwinds. If attempting to get off the ground with the wind at their back, the downward force of this wind prevents lift, doing just the opposite. Therefore, headwinds create ideal conditions for flight.
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit,” John 3:8.
Although wind is invisible, you can hear it coming. While tornadoes create debris clouds, the Holy Spirit restores human beings from the inside out. Transformation usually takes time, especially for anyone overcoming previous storms which has ravaged souls. Beyond broken hearts, pain and scars, a supernatural force uses headwinds to bring individuals back to where they need to be. In view of this fact, remember to thank the Lord like Job for the good and bad so that God will use headwinds to lift you up.
