On Eagles Wings


I woke up early this morning to post my blog. I had it all finished and then suddenly it disappeared. I am sorry this is so late, but my day passed by so quickly.



'On Eagles wings'. Have you heard that song? Have you ever seen an Eagle soaring through the air? It's the most peaceful and soothing sight you can imagine.

Dave and I returned on Saturday from a 10 day, 4100 mile trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National parks. It was truly amazing.

We were blessed to see two eagles less than a car's length from us. We stood there in amazement that we were able to be so close to them. We stood there for the longest time watching. The Eagle would move its head so slowly as he looked around. Then suddenly without warning, the trees began to move as another Eagle made its way out of the trees and flew off. (We were told that their wing span was seven feet.) He quickly flew out of the wooded area in within minutes began soaring across the river and out of sight.

The sight of the mighty Eagle brought and amazing peace to my heart.

The Bible talks about Eagles.

Isaiah 40:30-31

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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.

Are you tired and weary? Put your hope in God and he can renew your strength. In no time you will be soaring like an Eagle.

How can we put our hope in God? By simply asking him to give you hope, to renew your strength and to build you up.

Isaiah 40:29
He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.

Let's ask God to help us to soar on wings like an Eagle.
