You’re An Eagle – So Soar!
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagle……………. Isaiah 40:31
There was a time when many of life’s lessons were taught to children through various Bible stories or through secular tales and fables. One of my most remembered stories is the one entitled, “The Ugly Duckling”. To summarize the entire story; there was one duckling there was drastically unlike the other ducks. It just didn’t belong. However one day, it was discovered that this ugly duckling wasn’t really a duck – but a swan…. A beautiful swam!
Sometimes in our lives we are not progressing simply because we are attempting to force ourselves into conforming to a standard that is totally contrary to our natural composure. As a child of the most high God, you are called to be an eagle. You are called to extend your wings, to lift your head, and to soar high above any and every obstruction. Many of us are still possessing the mentally and character traits of a common pigeon. We gather on the ground in clusters, and flutter from one crumb to the next.
An eagle is the only bird that loves a storm. Other birds will flee from storms; however the eagle will fly into a storm. They will allow the winds from the storm to quickly lift them higher. When in a storm, an eagle will lock its wings in place, just soar and enjoy the ride. You are an eagle! So when you’re in a storm – focus on the Word of God and nothing else. Open your mouth and speak to that storm! Rebuke the spirit of fear. Receive the spirit of peace. Then you will have the ability to ride out the storm in victory!
Eagles have keen vision, are fearless, tenacious, nurturing, full of vitality, and love to fly in high altitudes. So in spite of how you may view yourself or how others view you – remember… you are an eagle. An eagle also has an extremely wide wingspan. Therefore, because the eagle’s wingspan is so wide – they can’t be cramped into a small area.
I would like to encourage you to extend your wings and soar! The place where you are now attempting to fly might not possess the space that is required for you to open your wings to their fullest extent……And you certainly have no space to soar.
Nothing else matters today other than the fact that you KNOW that you are an eagle. Therefore as an eagle refuse to be bound any longer. As an eagle, face every storm head on. As an eagle, stand fearless in your place of dominion and exercise your authority. As an eagle, know how to revitalize yourself so that your strength will be renewed.
Lastly, when necessary, eagles will only congregate with other eagles (Iron sharpen iron – Proverbs 27:17). You DO possess within you the DNA of an eagle! Stop attempting to diminish your dreams, and visions to conform to the standards of the “pigeons”. Be determined that from today forward you will only view yourself as an eagle. Then be unwavering in your conclusion…… and soar yourself through a lifetime of victories! Soar Eagles Soar….Spread your wings……and Soar!
“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
