On Eagle Wings

 

“And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.” (Exodus 19:3-4)

 

Today’s Morsel:  Some of the imagery that God uses to show how He delivers us and His capabilities are amazing.  I do not know if you have ever watched an eagle up close, but those are some majestic birds.  I like standing alone by the river and watching them soar from above to capture their prey. It is amazing the amount of weight that they can carry.  The Lord told Moses to tell the children of Israel that He had brought them unto Himself on eagles’ wings.  An eagle is said to be not only a bird that is powerful and mighty but also one which cares for its young.  Throughout scripture, God is seen in the imagery of an eagle.  Eagle’s have been seen by airline pilots over five miles in the air.  When there is a storm, eagles have been known to allow the winds to carry them above the storm.  Isaiah states, He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(Isaiah 40:29-31)  Why not allow Jesus to bear you on His wings today.  He can carry you far about the storm in your life.

 

Sing: They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles.  They shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint.  Teach me, Lord, teach me, Lord, to wait.

 

Thought For Today:  Stay faithful and God will bring you unto Himself on eagle wings.
