EAGLES

Who has ever had hard times in your life? Was it expected or unexpected? I will safely guess at least at some point in your life everyone has had some sort of hard time. Was it fun? Could you rejoice in it? Was it easy to talk to God in it? Do you have it figured out? I know I don't. Depending on the type of person you are, difficult times can be excruciating in various levels depending what you are going through. Do you shut yourself away? DO you seek others to make you feel better? DO you look to God? Do you vent or hold it in? Do you let it boil out lashing at those around you? Whatever you might face or feel, God is the one constant take comfort you are not ALONE! Last Sunday my church participated in a revival and our speaker spoke on Eagles and how their way of doing things can be applicable to ourselves. He discussed some ways that eagles live their lives and how their ways can be compared to ours. Eagles are birds of the air and in a sense carefree of issues on the ground. When there is trouble on land they just have to look high in the air and take off. Of course we can't do that but we can look to our Father in Heaven for help. I wish I could be like the eagle. Our speaker encouraged us to look up to God for comfort and not down. There are so many that are looking for the "FIX" for all their issues but are looking in the wrong spot. In the end, the "FIX" ends up bringing more problems. One point that he spoke of is that eagles are not Jealous. We as a human race can be so jealous of each other it is a powerful weapon the enemy uses to hurt us individually and as one body. We are all different and we should be confident in this. I'ts not an easy thing to do, I know!! I would say that the soul does not grow in pure love if it has jealousy therein. The church body can be compared to a human body, we all have different gifts that we excel at and God needs them all. If we all excel at one thing how would work? It wouldn't!! Blessings Laura.
