Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Yesterday was sparrows, today we're looking at eagles.😊
When an eagle soars up in the sky it flies above the storms, unbothered by any turmoil beneath, carried by the thermal air currents and it remains up there without flapping it's wings. God promises us in this verse that we will soar like eagles as we trust Him and we too will become unflappable!
Do I hear you say, "Well I don't have wings, my feet are stuck in the humdrum of life, walking through treacle sometimes, I don't feel much like soaring at the moment!" If so, can I encourage you to close your eyes, turn everything off, and just visit with God for a little while, even 5 minutes if it's all you've got.
Now, can you imagine with me, taking the hand of Jesus, looking up towards his smiling face and letting Him take us to sit with His Father at the right hand of His throne? There's a seat there with your name on it. (Ephesians 2:6)
As we do that He reminds us that He has promised to strengthen us to the point where we wont faint, where we wont be so weary, but we have to receive it, so can we just hold our hands out and believe God is doing as He says? See Him pouring His strength into you.
Hear Him speak His peace and reassurance as we rest and relax in Him knowing He's got our lives in the palm of His hand and nothing is going to snatch us out or separate us from His love. He'll remind us He's working everything out for us and give us a sense of His joy just because we're His and we're there. He wants us to go back out with a smile on our faces.
As we learn to 'let go' and release our troubles and anxieties into His hands, so we'll feel lighter and we'll be able to soar that little bit higher. So whenever you're feeling stressed, just go and sit on the seat with your name on, and let the Lord lift you up today. Amen.
