Eagles Wings

Promise of the Day:
They shall mount up with wings as eagles. (Isaiah 40:31)

Prayer:
An Eagle is such a Majestic bird, Lord. It has a huge wing span, and has learned to soar on the air currents. Psalm 91 states You will cover me with Your pinions, or feathers. There is a little fable about some wingless birds for whom God made wings. He gave them to the birds and told them to take these burdens and bear them. As the birds laid these burdens upon their shoulders, they grew fast to their bodies and they soon discovered these burdens could be used to lift them up and the burdens became wings. This little story shows how our tasks and trials are the pinions God has made to lift us up, and we rise and soar toward God, floating upon our burdens as the eagle does the air currents. We can learn lessons from the eagle, as You lift us up on eagle's wings. I will safely dwell in the shelter of Your wings and Your faithfulness.
Amen
