Have you ever wished for wings? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly like a bird? Every child, at some time, runs around with arms spread out in hopes of catching just the right kind of updraft to send him soaring through the air. I know I’ve done it.
Did you know that the Bible tells us that God wants us to soar like eagles? Maybe not in a physical sense but certainly in a spiritual sense. God’s plan and desire for us is to go higher and experience more than we are right now. If you want to reach new heights in God, follow the eagle’s example. First, find an updraft. You’ve seen eagles circling, effortlessly, rising as they go. That’s because they’ve found an updraft of air that lifts them ever higher and higher. The Bible says in Isaiah 40:31, “They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” Waiting on the Lord is where we catch an updraft. Spending time with him in prayer and worship creates a lift in our spirits and takes us above the day to day circumstances of life that weigh us down. Everyone has a down day—Mondays especially are like that. But your day can change to an “up” day simply by taking a moment to wait upon the Lord. He will send an updraft in your spirit that will energize you and help you to overcome every difficult situation facing you. Why not pause right now and spend a moment with God? Spread your wings and let him lift you higher. You’ll find it takes no effort at all—He will do all the work. Now go soar through the day! |
