On Eagles Wings
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. Then, when the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
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 our belief toward the Divine living as us and through us. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow the power planted in us by the Creative Force of the universe to lift us above them. We are invited, encouraged, called, to ride the winds of the storms that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm, and call forth the Good even in the midst of tragedy.
In doing so, we contribute to lifting up all our brothers and sisters of the earth. Our lives become not only an example for others, but even more importantly, a powerful force of energy helping the human race shift the balance toward evolution of the spirit. Hold in your heart the thought that every difficulty that plagues you is presenting an opportunity to grow in strength and achieve greater spiritual power. It is the only true power. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them, and we always have a choice.
This is not a new idea. "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31
