Home > On Eagles Wings/Feedback

The verses of Scripture that have been particularly special to me since being ill are Isaiah 40v28-31.  It is not our physical strength or abilities that really count - it is putting our faith, hope and trust in the Lord.  Then, as a result, we can look beyond our problems (however real and frustrating they may be!), knowing that we are in His care, under His shadow, and will ultimately be with Him in Glory.  His everlasting arms are always underneath us (Deuteronomy 33v27); His everlasting love always surrounds us.

It is an interesting fact that when an eagle flies into a storm it tilts its wings, which enables it to soar upwards and thereby fly over the storm.  This is of course a lesson and encouragement for us - to look to the Lord to guide us through, and over, whatever the circumstances are that we find ourselves in.

"Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  Even the youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40v28-31 (NIV)
