As An Eagle...

 Today I held a new little one; his big blue eyes looked deep into mine and tugged right at my heart. His features were perfect…ten toes, ten fingers. As I held him, his little head bobbed about reflecting the newness of this little person. 

 All the sadness of losing little Zachariah came back with a rush…The Lord has his purposes for taking Zachariah home before we could visit with him and really get to know him. I understand and accept God’s perfect will, yet that does not mean the pain of loss disappears. The tears of never holding him still come at times; however, the hope from my Saviour overpowers the loss…


 Each day as I get older the shortness of life becomes more real and the need for Christ’s presence more intense. 


 Deuteronomy 32:10, 11, 12 “He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

  Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions,  the LORD alone guided him, no foreign god was with him. 


 The mother eagle stirs up the nest when it is time for the eaglets to learn to fly. The nest has been soft, warm, and comfortable. She scratches out the softness, making the nest prickly. 
Before she can teach them to fly, she has to make them willing to leave their nest.

 Then, the mother eagle takes the little eaglets and flings them out of the nest.

They begin to fall…


 Having stirred up her nest, she “spreadeth abroad her wings,” She “beareth them on her pinions.” She swoops beneath them, catches them on her wings, and bears them up.


 Teaching them to fly, she drops them again, and again they struggle in the air, but this time not so helplessly. The process continues until the eaglets learn to fly. She is always under them, ready to catch them on her wings.


 That is how God deals with you and me.


 Trials and trouble do come. But sometimes God needs to move us from point A to point C or D. We have to learn and God teaches us many different ways. To get to point D he may stretches us a bit or drop us from the nest… He is always there to catch us…but it is not always comfortable.

  • He leads me about, (encircled me)
  • He instructs me,
  • He keeps me
  • Flutters over me
  • Takes me and bears me on His wings:
  • So the LORD alone does lead me.

Love this writing, we will never , thisside of heaven, why God allows certain things in our lives. The hurt is so real, but in time, God gives us His peace. Isn't He just a wonderful father.
