"Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it." -- Winston Churchill
The sail harnesses the wind by showing it its back, but the kite harnesses it by facing it down. Which one you should be depends on what kind of wind it is. If is the Spirit of the Age blowing smoke, by all means go fly a kite, but if it is the Spirit of God blowing as He wills, by all means hoist your sails.
When the winds of change bluster about with chronological snobbery, set your face against it and rise above its gusts. If you go with that wind, you will fall to the ground. But if you go against that gale, you will find yourself flying high.
But when the wind of God blows by, submit to its force and go where it takes you.
John 3:7-8
"Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 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.”
And when the warm winds of grace collide with the cold front of corruption, expect a storm. Watch the heavens. Read the weather. Ride the right kind of sky.
