October 23, 2008 - Devotional: Soar on Eagles Wings

"This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts."
(Zechariah 4:6)

SOAR ON EAGLES WINGS

When eagles in the wild are migrating they follow complex patterns when moving from region to region. During flight they minimize the effort required for flying by riding on thermals. These are column of rising warm air and have average speeds of 30mph. The eagle glides to a high altitude by circling through the thermal which gradually pushes the bird upward. Once the eagle is high enough it will leave the thermal and glide through the air in a slow descent until it can find another rising column of air, which it will then use once again to rise up. Eagles will jump from thermal to thermal for most of their journey.

When a person receives Christ they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God. Yet even with God living in us we act like the eagle, jumping from one Holy Spirit Thermal to another, trying to do what we can on our own until we became so low we had to find another column of rising Holy Spirit to take us to a higher level.

We need to realize that the Christian walk is a life long journey, that God has proved His Spirit to be with us every second, we can move in His power with every step, but like all that God has done, He allow us to make the choice because that is what love is to us, a choice.

I hope as I get older I will choose to soar with God.

Rejoice in the Lord Always!
