Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it
breaks?
The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to
come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it
up and
lift it high above the storm.
While the storm rages below, the
eagle is
soaring high above it, gliding with ease.
The eagle does not
escape the
storm, it just simply uses the storm to lift it higher.
It
rises on the
winds that bring the storm into its world.
When the
storms of life come
upon us -- and all of us will experience them -- we can
rise above them by
setting our minds and faith toward God!!!
The storms
do not have to overcome
us.
We can allow God to lift us above them. God
enables us to ride the winds
of the storm that brings sickness, pain,
tragedy, failure and disappointments in
our lives, and make something good
come from it.
We can soar above the
storm.
Remember, it is not
the burdens of life which weigh us down, but
it is how we handle them that
counts.
In Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) it reads: "But
they that wait on the Lord
shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings like eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and
not faint."
STILL
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me within Your mighty hands
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still know You our God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
