Have you ever felt like you’re meant to be soaring high in the sky, but felt like you’re exhausted just flapping your wings?
Let me remind you of what God said when He rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt:
You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself – Exodus 19:4
This Eagle mindset is not about your effort, strength nor discipline. It’s about whose wings you’re riding on when you soar above the stormy situations in your life.
1. I carried you
God carried the Israelites out of the slavery in Egypt by His mighty hand. It’s about surrendering to the One who lifts us up. In whatever challenging or impossible situations we find ourselves, God is able to carry us through it.
2. On eagles’ wings
God carried the Israelites from slavery to freedom. Eagle swoops down and carry their young – even midair – to safely. It does it tenderly but with great strength. God comes to carry us on eagle’s wings when we’re exhausted – and He does it with His loving hands.
3. And brought you to myself
God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to Himself. Even though the Israelites complaint endlessly, yet God was patient with them and provided for them in the desert. He never abandoned them in the desert. In the same way, God is bringing us to Himself, seeking a personal relationship with Him.
My Invitation
This is my invitation to you today: ask God to carry you on eagle’s wings each day – above your fears, frustration and exhaustion. Trust in God to carry you to rise above the chaos of life and soar to the highest sky.
