Anyway the wind blows is cool with me

   A windmill stands isolated and alone and harnesses the wind from any direction. It's reminiscent of the old Syl Johnson song: Anyway the wind blows is cool with me.

 You’ve never seen a windmill turn backward because they have a tail or rudder that detects the wind direction and the windmill changes when the wind changes. Big turbines are designed to rotate to face the wind and have sails or blades designed to absorb the impulse of the wind into its rotation. They will always do that and will turn as designed, no matter the direction of the wind.


  Windmills harness the wind and generate power; it doesn’t matter the direction. Just as a sailor can harness the winds that go against him and force it to push him forward.


  We should learn something from these truths. Sometimes the winds don’t blow the way we like or they blow against us, but we should be sensitive to the direction that the Holy Spirit leads us; He teaches us how to face an evil wind and keep going straight ahead toward the prize.


John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.


 Everyone born of the spirit knows how to harness the wind and say, “Anyway the wind blows is cool with me.”


 God’s got my back
