A.W. Tozer emphasizes that as followers of Christ, we must accept the reality of facing challenges and adversities, symbolized by the 'wind in our face.' He references Samuel Rutherford's insight that being with Christ means we cannot expect an easy path, as the journey of faith often involves struggle and discomfort. Tozer acknowledges the natural desire for comfort and ease but reminds us that the Church has historically persevered through trials. Embracing the wind signifies our commitment to Christ and the strength found in enduring hardships together with Him.
