SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE
Did you know that an eagle knows when the storm is approaching long
before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot
and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up
and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is
soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the
storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them
[it may not be easy but] we can rise above them by setting our minds and our
belief in Jesus, our God. The storms do not have to overcome us.
We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the
winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment
in our lives. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down,
it is how we handle them.
"Dear God, help me to always hope and trust in you so that, when the
storms of life rage around me, I will be able to soar like the eagle
above the turbulence and become a better, stronger Christian as a result.
Gratefully in Jesus' name. Amen."
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31)
Have a Nice Day!
