God gave us the power of choice. Use it wisely! Every choice we make shapes
our life. I choose hope over doubt;
peace over distress; love over animosity; joy over depression. I choose God
over all things.

Spread our Wings and Fly
Eagle is a sign of strength, courage and beauty. Unlike other birds that fly away from a
thunderstorm seeking refuge and shelter, eagle flies directly into the
thunderclouds. “Does the eagle soar at
your command and build his nest on high?
He dwells on a cliff; …a rocky crag is his stronghold. From there he seeks out his food; his eyes
detect it from afar.” Job 39: 27-29
Flying is their way of surviving. That’s why when the mother eagle knows that
her eaglets are ready to fly she stirs up the nest. She will do everything for her eaglets to
fly. Because she knows that if they will
not learn how to fly, they will die.
Sometimes as if our life is like a never-ending trials and it
seems like God has forsaken us. But in
the contrary, He wants us to test our wings against the stormy winds of life and
He will always be there to catch us if we fail.
Do not be overtaken with fear, incompetency and lack of faith. It will bring us down to our death. God equipped us with powerful wings
strengthened by trials.
Remember, God does not permit storms in our life for the
purpose of defeating us but for the purpose of benefiting us. Through trials and tests, our faith will be
deepened and strengthened. If confronted
even by the perfect storm of life, we will know how to navigate our ways like
the eagle. The eagle’s flight teaches us
to soar and not just fly.
Instead of being afraid, the eagle uses the storm for their
advantage. Turbulent winds cause the
eagle to fly higher, giving him a larger view, lifting him above oppression,
allowing him to use less effort, and helping him to fly faster. From this higher position his sharp eyes are
able to see more. As he soars higher, he
leaves behind all distractions.
We are filled with His Spirit, learned from His words and
examples, and has given us the authority to use His power to soar on high. Just trust our Lord God and Savior Jesus
Christ – from faith to faith, glory to glory with unwavering faith and
confidence – spread our wings and fly. –Mhel P.
“But they that wait
upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run
and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
