I ws reading Psalm 91 about taking shelter uner God's wings and I started to think about eagles of course Isa 40:31 is one of my favorite verses but we hae also been sturpdying the book of Revelation and one of the four cretures around God's throne is eagle-like.
Eagles are born with big and heavy wings, and part of the survival
mechanism they are born with is that they have to learn how to fly
without actually flapping their big wings.
Eagles have to learn how to do this in order to conserve energy. Eagles
can literally die if they expend too much energy flapping their wings
during flight versus soaring.
As a result, what eagles have to learn to do very early on in order
to be able to soar without flapping their wings, is to wait for what are
called wind thermals to come up on them. A wind thermal is a big gust of wind that will rise up into the atmosphere.
Sometimes eagles will remain perched for days before they catch a
good, strong, wind thermal, where they can then launch onto it and
combine a mixture of flying and soaring on that strong wind thermal to
get them to where they want to go.
Now here is the basic gist of this whole analogy. Lock this into your
memory banks, as God is giving us a very powerful analogy on how eagles
basically fly and soar on these wind thermals
We are the eagle
The wings of the eagles represent our faith and belief in God
To fly eagles have to jump and depend on the thermals
The wind thermals the eagles fly on represent the Holy Spirit
Just like the eagle has to learn how to catch the wind thermal in order to survive in this world, we have to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis so we can fully accomplish everything God that will want us to accomplish for Him in this life.
And just like the eagle has to learn how to ride and navigate on those thermals once they actually launch onto them, we have to learn how to walk with the power of the Holy Spirit operating through us so we can fully accomplish the tasks and assignments that God will be calling us to do for Him in this life.
Eagles Are Master Fliers
As a result of being able to learn how to fly on those strong thermals, eagles are considered master fliers. They can fly to heights that no other bird can. They have been seen flying as high as some of our airplanes fly.
How can eagles
fly as high as some our modern day airplanes? The answer is in their
ability and skill to ride and fly on these strong thermals.This is why you see eagles literally soaring at times on these wind
thermals, with their wings being spread straight out and no flapping
being done.
In the same way, we as Christians can learn how to be master fliers
by learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Just like eagles depend on these strong wind thermals to take them
to heights that no other bird can fly to – in the same way we can be
taken to heights that we may have never dreamed possible if we will just
learn how to be led be the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Just think how much more good fruit we could produce, and how much
more we could accomplish for the Lord in this lifetime if we could all
learn how to be really led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis, and how
to really walk with His power and anointing flowing through us.
Again, this is something that can be learned if you are open and
willing to be taught by the Lord on how to do this on a daily basis.
It is the job of the Holy Spirit Himself to teach you how to be
personally led and empowered by Him so you can fully accomplish
everything that the Lord has set out for you to do for Him in this life.
Eagles Are Master Fisherman
Eagles are also considered master fisherman. They are very good in
locking in on their prey and then swooping down to catch them.
How many times have you seen videos where an eagle will swoop down on
a body of water and pick up a fish swimming near the surface with
perfect ease and accuracy, and catching them on the very first attempt.
They are absolute masters at hunting down and catching their prey, whether that prey be on land or in the water.
Just as eagles are considered to be master fisherman with how they
can catch fish in water – we, as Christians, have been called by the
Lord to be “fishers of men,” just like Jesus and the apostles were at the very beginning of the New Testamen
Eagles are places of refuge
The Bible also uses eagles as a symbol of God’s constant presence in
people’s lives. In Psalm 91:4, we read “He will cover you with his
feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness
will be your shield and rampart.” Here, the eagle is used to express
God’s unconditional love and protection.
Eagles protect their chucks in pairs They can shelter them with their wings ir carry the vhicks n their backs out of danger from storms or predators.Yet that same parnet eagle will also udge a chick out of the nest so they can learn to fly.
