Mounting Up with Wings Like Eagles
Story★★★★Isaiah seems to be telling us that God is invisible, but like the invisible uplifting
thermal currents of this planet, he is present for his people. When we search him
out, claim his promises and trust in him, spreading out the wings of faith, we are
caught up to a higher plane. We mount up with wings like eagles. We can run and
not grow weary. We can walk and not faint.
The strength we need for holy, effective, victorious living comes not from
frantically flapping our wings like sparrows in distress, but from trusting in God
and resting in Jesus Christ.
The point
God's invisible presence lifts believers to a higher plane like thermal currents lift eagles—true strength comes not from anxious effort but from trusting God and resting in Christ.
