I don’t know about you but it seems to me that I have been running against the wind all my life! But hey that’s okay, Salmon swim up river to spawn and have to swim past many obstacles and dangers along the way . –But they still do it. They have to!! And so friend–we are encouraged by the Spirit of God to get up again and to go again. Get back on your horse and go again!…Get on your bike and go again!
Against the Wind Lyrics
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home and I
I guess I lost my way
There were oh-so many roads
I was livin’ to run
And runnin’ to live
Never worried about payin’
Or even how much I owed
Movin’ eight miles a minute
For months at a time
Breakin’ all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin’
Searchin’ for shelter again and again[Chorus]
Against the wind
Little somethin’ against the wind
I found myself seekin’ shelter against the wind
Because you know what you are NOT ALONE AS YOU RUN!
“Oh the enemy is back at it again!!? I am tired of this! Somehow I’ll have to push this away but I am so tired of this–he just keeps coming back again and again!!”
“Lord You said “Submit yourselves to God and resist the Devil and he will flee from you.” “
“And the best way I know how to submit to You Lord is to agree with You.”
“I agree with you that I cannot fight the enemy. I cannot push him away. I cannot save anyone, I cannot help anyone. I cannot stop people doing what they choose to do. I cannot stop these witches from cursing me. I cannot save them, or save anyone else! I cannot make people believe or make them listen to me or to You. I cannot do anything Lord!! I can do nothing of myself. So I just want to admit that to you Father.”
“God You are the One who takes the Lead and does EVERYTHING I need to do. Please Lead Lord…Please Lead Lord!!”“And Lord be my shelter always! Be my hiding place and my strong tower always Lord!”
