One of the faces of the Lord in Scripture is the face of an eagle. It has been said that all of nature fears storms except for the eagle. If a bird faces an opposing wind at the proper angle, it will be carried higher. Eagles learn this early and use such opposing winds to reach the greatest heights. The same is true of those who learn to soar spiritually. Every opposing wind is an opportunity to go higher, if you will approach it at the proper angle or attitude.
