Deu 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Deu 32:12 So YHWH alone did lead him, and there was no strange el with him.

 

Have you ever felt like you were falling?  Imagine this.  You are an eagles fledgling. (A baby eagle) You are sitting on the edge of the nest...and with your eagle eyes you get a quick picture just how high in the air you are...and then, huge talons grasp you and you feel as though you are in free fall.  The ground appears to be rushing up to meet you as you plummet down.  Sharp jagged rocks seem to be reminding you of sure death!  You attempt to fly, but all you end up doing is flapping while you continue your downward spiral flight .  Sometimes it can feel as though we are in this downward plunge, it feels so utterly hopeless and we are filled with despair, knowing we are falling, and knowing that we alone are unable  to spread out our wings and glide to safety.   In the verse above we see that an Eagle cares so tenderly over her young, hiding them under her huge wings.  She flutters over them..yes she is constantly preening them and making sure they are getting enough to eat.  Then a time comes where she takes them, and its time to fly.  Over the edge of the nest and into the air! All alone? Keep reading..she bears them on her wings.  Those eaglets that did not catch on, that are plunging down...their parents swoop down under them and catch them!  There is no height that any of us can fall from...no place to high that YHWH cannot protect us from.  In Romans we read, neither height no depth can separate us from the love of YHWH through our Messiah.  Still feeling after reading this, that you are falling? 

 

Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon YHWH 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.

We need to stop being an onlooker. Stop watching "problems" fly by. Stop in mid-flight, what ever that flight of sorrow or pain and misery might be.  Let YHWH renew our strength.  As we wait on HIM, trust, rely, depend on HIM, our strength will be renewed.  We will stretch out wings to fly, and be able to fly high above all fear and doubt and anguish, for YHWH will carry us, He will protect us! As our hearts begin to trust HIM, as we depend on HIM, we will look around, and see, with YHWH on our side, we truly can soar! Isn't it always a beautiful reminder, that YHWH is always there to catch us?
