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.’
DAILY READING – • John 18:19-38; 2 Chronicles 27-28; Psalm 84
Due to the peculiar nature of eagles, they live on higher grounds and this sets them apart from other smaller birds in the forest.
The major difference between eagles and other birds is that they fly to greater heights, where other birds cannot reach.
Also eagles deal differently with an approaching storm. Instead of flying away and hiding like other birds, eagles have great ability and skill to navigate the storms.
An eagle can detect when a storm is approaching long before it breaks. Then it will actually fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, the eagle 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. The eagle does not look for how to escape the storm, rather it simply uses the storm to go higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. The eagle flies above and overcomes the storm by using the strength of the wind to its advantage.
We can indeed learn a wonderful lesson from this way the eagle handles a storm.
Life isn’t about running from the storm, it’s about learning to soar above it.
During the storms of life, you must learn to fly above. Despite the challenges, your constant aim must be to rise to higher ground spiritually. Do not sit in self-pity and depression, rather rise up to where you can sense the wind of the Spirit.
Go higher in prayer, study of the Word and worship, until you connect to God’s power which is able to carry you through that situation.
God said to the Israelites in 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.’.
Sometimes we may face seasons where we don’t know how we’re going to make it through. It could be receiving a negative medical report, dealing with family problems or handling financial challenges.
We could feel overwhelmed and fail to see how things will work out. But then, if we will only focus on going higher in seeking God, His grace and mercy will carry us through.
As you connect to God’s grace, you will receive supernatural strength, a peace that passes understanding, and favor that causes the lines to fall into pleasant places for you.
God has grace for every season. He never allows those that put their trust in Him to be ashamed.
If you look back at your life, you can see how He has carried you through life’s stormy weathers. On your own, you should not have survived those vicious attacks that came against you, but then God’s grace saw you through in ways you can’t even explain. Somehow you made it across that terrible challenge and arrived on the other side—blessed, healthy, and stronger than ever.
That is the faithfulness of God. And what God did before He is able to do again in your life. Though today it may seem you’re facing insurmountable odds, it’s not going to defeat you.
God will carry you on eagles’ wings and bring you to a place of rest. God’s grace will carry you through the disappointment, pain, heartache, poverty and bring you into abundance, peace, joy, favor, breakthroughs and promotions.
No matter the kind of storms that come your way, know that you are undefeatable. You have what it takes to rise above it and soar free. You are built to last because the stronger One lives in you, and because He lives, you shall live also. As you keep your root grounded in the Word of God, you will only grow stronger as the storm rages.
Through God’s grace, mercy and favor, you will arise above every adversity to mountaintops of victory.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to stand strong despite the fierce winds of oppositions. I thank you for the grace to always rise stronger and better.
