Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm
is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot
and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so
that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm
rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it
higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of
life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above
them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. We first need to be
already sitting in the high place of salvation:
The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us
above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring
sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar
above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us
down, it is how we handle them.
The Bible says, "Those who hope in (trust in;
wait upon) the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings
like eagles." Isaiah 40:31
