Soar with God

Soar with God

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]…Isaiah 40:31 (Amplified Bible)

Another brood of young eagles is preparing to fly away from the nest.

Parents are relieved, yet reluctant to see their wide-eyed eager eaglets take to the air. Relieved that tests have been taken and passing scores attained. And, not just class work, but tests from the school of life, such as decision making with the small degrees of guarded freedom that are allotted with maturity.

Some parents are reluctant for many wonder if their offspring are really ready for takeoff right now in a world with mixed forecasts of clear blue skies with excellent sightlines for achievement, and yet dark, tempestuous skies of malaise and uncertainty which present poor visibility and makes even the most experienced fliers apprehensive about reaching the highest altitudes of life.

Young eagles, you can climb higher, if you endeavor to soar with God.

With God, nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) In darkness, He will be your light, which illumines your path. In turbulent times, He will be your soothing balm that calms your unease. When it seems you are running on fumes and headed towards empty, He is your eternal energy source that never runs dry. When your earthly gauges fail you, God’s faithfulness will ever remain.

You can have a life that makes a difference and achieve feats of eternal worth, if you take the course charted by the divine GPS, God’s positioning system.

Isaiah 40:31 offers us a picture of what you can do, if you do what every man, woman, boy, and girl should do. If one cleaves onto God, intertwining oneself to Him by faith, seeking Him through His word and prayer; listening for His voice and hearkening unto His guidance. If one should put all of one’s hope in who He is and what He can do. If one would love Him with all of one’s heart, mind, soul, and strength, that person who would be confident and wise enough to entrust their all to Him, could not help but to rise.

By trusting, tolerant, tarrying for Him, you could rise above the troubles and trials of this world and provide incentives for others to triumph. You could rise above the heartache and heartbreak and engender events that others may be healed. You could rise above the despair and disparity and then draw in others to draw out their potential, developing them that they in turn may draw and develop others-causing the community to ascend.

Be like Jesus Christ, He was lifted up that we may be raised from our low estate. If you allow Christ to arise in your heart, knitting yourself to all that He is-trusting Him as your Lord and Savior- then your heart will not be satisfied until you see others rise with you. In Christ, you can soar to heavenly heights. Let Him lift you. He is the only way to soar with God.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen
