| 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!
