These large nests are built high and inaccessible, like in the rocks of a high mountain or on top of a tall tree. Then she carries it back to her nest, tears it apart, and shares it with her eaglets. She swoops down from the sky and seizes and kills the prey. An eagle has very keen eyesight, enabling her to see her prey from hundreds of feet in the air.His bill enables him to tear the flesh of his prey when it is too big to swallow whole. An eagle’s feet are well suited for grabbing hold of a small animal and carrying it high into the sky. All four claws of each foot are sharp and curved. But all eagles have large, strong bills and powerful claws (talons). Different species of eagles vary from each other in size, looks, and habits. It is one of the largest birds and is very strong. A eagle is a bird of prey – a flesh eater.I encourage you to continue to mediate on Isa 40:31 for the rest of the day.Riding on the Wings of an Eagle Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions. And I learnt the importance of depending on the Lord for His strength for every situation. He showed the verse in Exodus 19:4 “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.” Upon receiving this Word from the Lord, I understood the Lord had been strengthening for all these times. He showed me that it is not my own determination, faith or strength that I could hang on for so long.
Finally, after the prayer was answered, God taught me a very precious lesson.
During the three long years, the Lord repeatedly send His promises in the Word through sermons, prophetic words and dreams to spur me on. There was a time when I persevered to pray for more than 3 years until the request was answered. We must learn to depend on His strength to run the race He has set out for us. In our spiritual journey, God does not want us to depend on our own natural strength to carry out His supernatural work. Isa 40:31b says believers shall mount up like eagles, they shall run and not weary, they shall walk and not faint. There is an amazing incident recorded in 1 Ki 18:46, By the Lord’s strength, Elijah outran the chariots of King Ahab pulled by horses. This speaks of believers to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and acting in obedience. Rom 8:14 tells us that we must be sons and daughters of God who are led by His Holy Spirit. Just like the eagle waiting and sensing the coming of the thermal air currents and launch out at the well-timed moment. There is time of waiting and also an expectation that His Spirit will instruct us to launch out according to His timing. To wait upon the Lord is to seek him and wait for the prompting by His Spirit to move to action. Waiting upon the Lord is both passive and active. It has the meaning of waiting and look for something expectantly. Likewise, let us learn to pray to the Lord to give us spiritual perception and see things the way He wants us to see. Elisha prayed that God would open the servant’s eyes to see that God had sent his angels on horses and chariots of fire protecting them. In 2 Kings 6:16, 17, Elisha and his servant were surrounded by an army on horses and chariots coming to capture them. We must ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten our eyes to see things from His perspective. Many believers fall into discouragement because they look at their circumstances with natural eyes. The first point I wish to share is on the subject of vision. It is estimated that the eagle can see eight times further than human eyes can. From the great heights, they can see every clearly the movement of their prey on the ground. Their gliding speeds can reach up to 70 km/h and diving speed 150 km/h.Įagles also have extremely powerful and clear vision. They are swift and powerful birds, and can soar to a height of 3000 km. I wish to start off by sharing some facts of the American bald eagle. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint.”
I will read Isa 40:31 “They who wait upon the Lord, shall mount up with wings like eagles.
