EAGLES IN A STORM

It is a well-known fact that Eagles know when a storm is approaching long before it breaks.

The Eagles will fly towards a high spot and wait for the winds to come.

When the storm arrives, the Eagle will move its wings in a position and let the wind pick it up and lift it above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above.

The eagle, of course, does not escape the storm it simply uses the storm to lift it higher.  The eagle rises on the winds brought on by the storm.

Now in our life, we also have storms and we all at some time will experience them. We don’t like them but will have to overcome.

We can rise about the storms of life by focusing our minds on God. It is, of course, our choice. We can overcome the storm or let the storm become a destroying factor in our lives.

We can choose to allow God’s power to lift us above the storm and chaos. Our mighty Father enables us to ride the winds of the storm of sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives.

Choose to soar above the storm, and you will be like the eagle and succeed.

The Bible says:

"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles."

Isaiah 40:31
