Welcome to this our new Month to Soar As Eagles, in Jesus name. Isaiah 40: 31 - “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.”
Question, who hasn’t dreamed of flying like an eagle, high above all of the dangers, worries, concerns on earth below,?
Everyone, right? The fact of the matter is that eagles don’t fly, they soar. To soar is to glide high, ascend upwards high in the sky, and eagles do so with spectacular ease.
Perhaps this is why God chose them as our model. Fascinating birds, the eagles. Agur, the writer of Proverbs 30:18-19, amazed by eagles says " There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand…the way of an eagle in the sky..."
David saw the eagle as a symbol of strength, too. He says in Psalm 103:2, "Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits" David then lists several things and concludes in verse 5 with... "Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s" It’s a symbol of strength, vigor and vitality.
Mercy Seatizens, welcome to November, our Month to Soar as Eagles. In spite of the storms of life, as God’s children we would be strong, confident and majestic like eagles, soar high gracefully, and spread our God-given wings, in Jesus Name. Amen.
