Eagles
in a Storm
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.
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. |
