My wife and I started attending kite flying festivals in Florida back in the 90s. Some of the competitions involved kite maneuvers choreographed to music. I was so inspired I bought a professional kite, but my aerial ballet was more like clogging with the clouds. 

I remember the first kite I flew as a boy. Dad and I assembled it, drove to the schoolyard and made sure we were clear of power lines, but there was a problem. On that particular day, the wind gusts were strong, causing the kite to lift, turn abruptly and crash. Dad said, “You need a kite tail.” He tied cloth strips together, as I wondered how it would work. If my kite wouldn’t fly, how would adding more weight solve the problem? Then dad held the kite, while I held the string AND my breath. Suddenly a gust of wind came, and dad let go of the kite. With its new tail, it soared, and I experienced the definition of the word stabilization that day.  

As adults we all need to apply that word to our hectic lives. Sometimes we seem to be flying along in our daily lives without a care in the world, but sudden problems arise like a violent gust of wind, and the moment seems to spin out of control. And although we can’t control all of our outside influences, we can control our internal stabilization. That occurs when we daily trust God's Word. He brings peace and balance to everything. Trust the Father to stabilize your life, then you can soar. After all, you were made to fly!
