Rise Up With Wings As Eagle's
Have you ever watched an eagle soar high above the earth? He is so graceful, even though he is a big bird. He catches the wind and soars with the breeze. That is exactly what God wants us to do. He wants us to catch the wind of the Holy Spirit and soar high above the things of this earth. That doesn’t mean that we are “flaky.” It simply means that we are to know the Lord so well that we hear His voice and quickly obey what He tells us to do. It is that easy.
We get to know the Lord’s voice by reading, studying and meditating His Word, which is His voice expressed to us on this earth. The more we know the Word, the easier it is to hear the voice of God when He speaks to us, because He will always speak in line with His Word.
Our thoughts are to be above the doubt and fear and unbelief in this world. Our thoughts are to be centered on God and His Kingdom. He is the One Who gives us instruction and takes care of us. He guides us into successful living every day, when we listen to His directions. We can be free like that eagle, strengthened in the Lord, and rising above the troubles all around us. Up high there is not the sight of trouble. Our sight is fixed on God and His Word.
What if the government fails? What if the economy goes “belly up”? What will happen to me? What about my health? Can I afford to live decently? What will I do about food? What about my home? What about my children? Every one of these questions is answered in one word: GOD! My God is more than enough. If He could give manna to the Israelites and rain down quail for their food in the wilderness, He can take care of us in tough times. I myself have had personal testimony to that care. He will take care of you all the time. He will give you instructions on what to do. Listen to Him. Obey Him. Don’t ignore Him. Don’t delay in obedience. Delayed obedience can cost you just as much as disobedience. There is God’s timing in everything. He is not out of control. The world may be out of control, but God is in perfect control. If you and I will stay close to Him, He will always take us through to the other side into victory, regardless of how difficult the circumstances we face.
Let’s close with several scriptures on eagles.
Isaiah 40:31 Amplified Bible
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Psalm 103:5
Who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
These three scriptures tell us that as we worship the Lord, reverence His name, and let Him fill our mouths with good things (His Word), we shall have His strength and power. We shall not be weary or faint or become tired. We have healing from Him. Our youth is renewed and we go forth, enjoying our life in Him. What a way to live!
