Like Eagles
|
Today at church we sang "Everlasting God." You are the everlasting God The everlasting God You do not faint You won't grow weary. You're the defender of the weak You comfort those in need You lift us up on wings Like eagles. Last week a friend commented she had seen 12 eagles on a walk around the lake with her husband. I grew curious and looked up how well eagles can see. I told her the eagles saw her at least 4 times better than she saw them. They can actually see better than we can by four times if we have 20/20 vision. Singing this song this morning reminded me of how when we are lifted up on wings like eagles we can see more clearly too. Now I'm thinking of that song: I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way - song by Johnny Nash more about eagles The eagle knows how to set its wing so it can soar above a storm. Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  |
