Isaiah 40:31 NLT 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.
Romans 12:2 talks about us being transformed by the renewing of our minds, and that word transformed is what happens when a caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly which is able to fly. It reminds us of Isaiah’s words about soaring high, like on eagle’s wings, when we need new strength, which we all need sometimes.😊
Although butterflies usually fly a few metres above the ground, some can rise to 1,000 feet, but an eagle has the ability to rise 10,000-20,000 feet and soar into the thermal currents way above the earth. It allows them to save energy by gliding and circling within the thermals instead of constantly flapping their wings.
God wants to give us a picture today of how high He wants to lift us all up, to see ourselves seated at the right hand side of His throne in Jesus, where there is no struggle, just gliding in the thermals of His energy, His provision, His grace.😊
Why not close your eyes for a few minutes and ask Him to lift you up, to see your spirit joined with Him, soaking up His strength, and tap into His supernatural divine nature. (2 Peter 1:3-4) Let’s see ourselves connected to Jesus, the Vine, whenever we feel weariness or weakness or depression trying to bring us down, and allow His ‘life’ to flow into us again, knowing His grace will be more than enough for today.
Lord, thank You for Your promise of lifting us up, of soaring high with You as we connect with You and allow You to transform us and take us from one degree of glory to another. In Jesus name. Amen.
