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!
