Meditate On
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and
not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Take
To The Skies
A farmer tried to raise an eaglet among
some chickens. The eaglet was taught to run around like a chicken and scratch
the dirt like a chicken. Instead of flying, it was always taught to look down,
and to run away from snakes like a scared chicken. But each time it did those
things, it knew in its heart that something was wrong. One day, it happened to
look up and see an eagle flying high and majestically in the sky, with a snake
grasped in its talons! The eagle gave a loud shriek that resonated deep within
the heart of the eaglet.
Each time the eaglet saw the eagle, it knew
in its heart that it was beholding its true nature. It tried to tell the
chickens about it, but the chickens just said, “Stop dreaming! You’re a
chicken. We chickens are earth-bound. We don’t fly. And we’re terrified of
snakes!” But the more the eaglet saw the eagle, the more it saw its true
destiny. The sight and call of the eagle eventually captured its heart, so that
finally, it was able to shut out the voices of unbelief, shake off its
earth-bound mentality and take off to the skies to live the high life of an
eagle!
My friend, God calls us eagles, and He
calls us to live the high life with Him. When you were born again as a child of
God, everything necessary for success, for being the head and not the tail, for
being above only and not beneath, and for living the victorious life, was
birthed in you. Keep seeing and meditating on your true identity in Christ—a
beloved, righteous child of God destined to soar and reign in life. The more
you get this into your heart, the more you’ll be able to shut out the voices
that try to keep you down and defeated, and live the high life!
