WE WERE DESIGNED TO FLY

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.

I was sitting watching a magpie out my bedroom window as he effortlessly dotted about on the rooftop opposite, then he flew off into the sky without a second thought. He did what God designed him to do!😊 We would no more expect the magpie to drag his feathers around than we would expect a lion not to roar. 

In the same way God designed you and me to be able to live the abundant life Jesus died for us to have too. He designed us to be able to rise above life's problems with eagles wings when we're tuned in to Him.

We weren't designed to drag through life but to tap into all God has given us in His precious promises. (2 Peter 1:3-4) He wants us to partake of His divine nature, to continue seeing ourselves as Jesus is. God didn't design us to mooch about like a chicken in the coop. He wants to remind us today who we really are in Christ and learn to fly like an eagle.😊 Don't let anyone or anything keep you in the hen coop when you have wings to rise up out of there!

God sees you as an eagle today, rising higher above the troubles below, tapping into His ability and power, as you realise who He has made you to be in Jesus. He has equipped you, anointed you with the Holy Spirit and power, enabled to do all things through Christ who strengthens you. He designed you to be above and not beneath, to be the head and not the tail, to be blessed going out and blessed coming in. (Deuteronomy 28:3-13)

You are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image and likeness of God, sons and daughters of the most High God, greatly blessed, highly favoured and deeply loved. 

Lord, as we begin another week help us to see ourselves as You see us and learn more and more how to fly like an eagle, learning to rise above the circumstances, tapping into Your wisdom and Your promises in Jesus Name. Amen.😊
